in a cage temporarily. An attempt will be made to get a picture to replace the one with the gopher snake. This racer, when caught, struck viciously at the slightest movement on my part, but I do not think he can do any damage. July 27th. At 7:15 Brownie, Greenie and No.4 were all accounted for. Brownie foraging for herself, Greenie for No.4. About 9:30 Mr. Sampson brought some cut-worms and some beetles that look somewhat like squash bugs ans somewhat like very large weevils. We wanted to see whether thrashers would eat these garden pests. The cut-worms looked like small "Thousand-leggers". We went to the glade and found Greenie and No.4 both there. Greenie took meal worms both from the hand and when tossed to him, which he fed to the young bird, but when cut-worms or beetles were offered by either method the most he would do was to turn them over--in the case of the worms--and the beetles he would take from the hand, carry a little distance, hammer on the ground and then abandon. This was at first, but when he got so that he could recognize them at a glance, he paid no further attention to them, but would come readily enough for meal worms. It is, of course, possible that he would have the others eaten them if it had not been for the meal worms. Roll 9. At about 10 various flashes of Greenie and No. 4 were taken in 20 mm. the glade with a Kodak movie camera using a f/3.5 lens. Distances ranged from 5 feet to 10, stops from f8 to f3.4 and light from full sun to full shade. Footage 14 feet. (From 50 to 36--this index shows feet remaining and not feet taken). From 36 down to 10, 26' mostly Brownie and the yellow-bellied racer, some of Greenie on the lawn and a flash of a green-backed goldfinch in Henry lily. Brownie was not very keen about attacking the snake, but the snake made one good pass at her, which she dodged. She did not peck at him until the camera ran down, so I missed that part. Mostly she
