retreat, hahking once or twice. He is unable to interpret his own instincts and can not fix upon any specific course of action. Whenever I approach anywhere near, he cries, but usually stops when I go to him. It is then found that there is nothing I can do that satisfies him for more than a few seconds; he is off again from perch to perch still in the inner compartment, although he is free to go any place inside or outside the structure. Rhody is now at work again on nest 2-36. Terry calls puck.... as if to call him, but he has his owns ideas as to the proper place to nest. Julio feels keenly Archie's absence and searches for him when- ever his duties will permit. Thus he was looking for him between 6 and 7 this morning and several times yesterday. He is intensely attached to Archie, Terry, Rhody and Brownie especially. With him, as with myself, it is more the manner of A's departure and the surrounding circumstances, that are cause for regret, rather than his being away. Archie left precipitately and in fear of everything in this environment: kin, friends of the human race and his home for the last 9 months, all alike were no longer bearable. after Terry touched the trigger. At 10:07, as I approached the cage, there were two roadrunners' in it moving about quietly; they were Rhody and Terry. Shortly there was a commotion in the upper extension in the acacia branch- es and Terry came running out with "nose" bloody. He went to the gravel bin, sat on top, took worms offered and permitted me, some- what reluctantly, to dust his wound with Bfi (Bismuth formis iodid) To tests Rhody's state of mind I went to the wire and offered him worms from the outside. He accepted them readily. Terry meanwhile disappeared. At 10:27 he was found in the orchard, Rhody 50 feet away apparently looking for him, but not energetically. T wandered off to the street, followed Selborne Drive to the Robinsons' on Estates Drive, not frightened. Curious- ly, passing automobiles disturbed him little. I sat on the oppo- site cup watching him. He turned and crossed the street to me. I picked him up and brought him home, putting him in the cage, leaving the door open. He went to the nest and began to cry, taking material offered him and placing it. (Note finished 10:55). 11:07. Rhody in the cage at 10:58, Terry not to be found. R does not seem to know where T is. 12:20. I located Terry at 11:18 "by ear". I could not see him, but cried (me ed, whined, mewed) revealing his location. He is off now 250 to 300 yards to the east in the Reynolds--Robin- son-Covell territory on the edge of Dimond Canyon. He is not frightened and I could have picked him up a dozen times. Once, in the Robinson place, he was chased by 5 or 6 small black dogs (kind unknown to me). He easily eluded them and made a grand flight through the air out to an open field. Rhody found him there, but when T pursued his course farther to the east, did not follow. Julio tells me R was in the cage again looking for him during my absence. He was finding plenty of flies and other insects, catch- ing them expertly. 3:00 P.M. Rhody is resting peacefully in nest 2-36. He has been there for nearly an hour. Neither of the young birds about. At 1 P.M. Rhody was again in the cage, in the inner compart- ment; I suppose looking for Terry. He spent much time in looking around inside. When he wanted to come out he showed some signs of confusion, trying everything but the open door, but still carrying the mouse I had given him when I found him there. He was still at a loss when in the new extension, but at last found the door. He then carried the mouse about with the usual display, but was never more than 100 feet from the cage, doubtless not realizing
