Road-runners All present and accounted for during this period, and normal. sleeping habits. The sun sets now (10th.) at 4:51. Rhody goes to bed about an hour earlier, but, as noted in the past, his time is irregular. A single observation on his rising time, found him in bed at 10:30 A.M. in his usual place, but, on seeing me upon the side- walk 20 feet below his roost offering sustenance, deserted his quarters and came for worms. Archie continued to occupy the hanging nest exclusively at night Terry, for more than a week, now, has been less restless at bed- time, though still inclined to occupy my shoulder. He seems to have adopted pretty definitely the shelf in the new portion of the cage, first discovered and used (but abandoned) by Archie. Both birds (because of the artificial conditions under which they are living?) go to bed later than Rhody and get up earlier. Freezing. These two are the most frequent "freezers" I have seen, and remain rigid for longer periods. They freeze when a hawk perches on the old oak, but not when they see one flying high overhead. In the latter case, they watch the hawk for a time, but may turn away, as if satisfied that it is harmless, even when the bird is still in sight. Usually they watch with one eye only. On the 9th. Archie, sitting on my shoulder, suddenly froze, remaining in that condition for perhaps ten minutes, when Julio appeared announcing that there was a hawk, unseen from where I stood, sitting on the old oak. A had apparently seen it fly to the tree and not reappear. He thawed as soon as it flew. On the 10th., as I approached the cage, Archie was seen to be frozen again. I could see nothing to disturb him. I entered the cage and picked him off the top of the rock where he sat. He did not appear to notice my approach and the only movements she made for about 20 minutes when I held him in my hands were: Twice, a slight shifting of a foot to a more comfortable position. Winking and expanding and contracting his pupils. A slight neck movement made in order to maintain his head fixed at a definite point in space as I purposely moved his body about in a small circle. A settling of his body to take the weight off of his feet and transfer it to my hands. At the end of this period (time estimated) he began to look about cautiously, but never once at me. I think he knew where he was all of the time. There was no sudden "coming to" and no ap- parent alarm; he perhaps felt too warm in my hands and shifted to my knee, sitting there quietly until he became interested in Terry's activities and went to investigate. It is interesting to note here that Terry was only about six feet away during all of this time, sitting on the porch of the house. (The one originally made for Rhody and placed in the Scamell tree where he roosted, and now hanging in the outer cage). Terry was normal while this was going on, yet, due to his location, must have been able to see everything that Archie did, and, as has been repeatedly observed, Terry is the more sensitive to outside affairs. It looks as if Archie had hypnotised himself.
