weak and pathetic, but all bodily functions appering to do their part. Mr. Brock is giving his feet special attention to keep him from being crippled if he survives, as he is so weak that he can not spread his toes out properly and doubles them up so that his weight comes upon their backs. This is liable to deform them permanently. He has tied the hind toes in proper relation to the tibia and his front toes are straightened out at intervals to normal position and the bird placed in an old, clean nest squarely upon his feet. The bottom of the nest is loosened up so that he may be able to grasp the fibres. I have been gathering up old towhee nests and sterilizing them. (It is well that the Brown and Spotted Towhees had so many nests here this year!) 3:15 P.M. B&G had good helping of meal-worms in glade. One of them picked up and carried of a long twig. (Temp. 67) 6:15 (Temp.60) Unable to find the present roosting places of B&G. November 22nd. 8:00 A.M. (Temp.58). About 7:50 I went to the glade, B&G both coming to me promptly, one two my knee and the other to the chair by my side. They did not poach on one another. After eating they examined together various small heaps of possible nesting material and Brownie explored somewhat in detail the location of Nest No.1 , bending and testing twigs, etc. The impulse soon subsided, however. 2:30 P.M. (Temp. 74) B&G still loafing in the glade, very frimldy. B had a good sun-fit and was still at it when I left, not being frightened when I walked by him at ten feet, though he kept an eye on me. He would be an easy mark for a cat. 5:35 P.M. (Temp.65. Sunset 4:54). A large bird was seen to enter the nest tree, go to the nest, pass on to a higher point about 2 feet from it. About 15 minutes search, practically all at the right
