greeting with supply of soap-root fibre which I had taken from an old Towhee's nest. When they met in the nest, the greeting consisted of soft song. Roosting. 6:09 P.M. At 6:01 both thrashers climbed up into the dormitory tree and settled themselves for the night. Time of going to roost follows the time of sunset fairly closely. (Sunset 5:50, temp. 55). Little work. Several times during the afternoon they worked a little on the nest; but it is clear that they do not consider the matter pressing, and further work is probably not absolutely essential, although the nest would be improved by putting a little more lining in the bottom. They eat a millipede. I tried them out with a Thousand Legged Worm (Millipede). I expected them to reject it on account of the disagreeable odor that these animals emit when disturbed. Brownie took it at once, ran off with it, and began to break it up. He did not seem very enthusiastic, and abandoned it in favor of Greenie, who broke it up into smaller sections, some of which she swallowed; I could not see whether she ate it all or not. # Unexpected endorsement of undersong. One of my visitors, referred to in Feb. 15th. note, who called on business, was a man who had no occasion to be aware of my interest in birds, and I was not aware that he ever even "saw" them. He happened to notice some quail outside the window and immediately was much interested and volunteered the remark that I ought to have a pair of thrashers here and then I would have some wonderful music. (near San Simeon) He went on to tell where he had heard them, and that he considered their song the finest of all our birds. On questioning him and showing him pictures of the thrashers here, it developed that he referred to the California Thrasher and had only heard their sub- song, not being aware that they also had a marvellous full song. He also referred to their ventriloquism. Altogether this struck me as fine confirmatory evidence from an independent source bearing upon my own observations.
