1205. Rhody bored by the snake, though interested at first. It was then decided to introduce him to the gopher-snake, a creature 3.4 inches long; one which past experience led me to believe he would not actually attack on account of its size, but would be interested in. So the event proved. R preferred to be an interested spectator, as the film will show. Since no experiment is ever a failure, however disappointing, the film will be of value nevertheless. Adding lizard fails to increase his interest. Next the lizard was placed with the snake, thinking that if the additional attraction would not bring R out of the ranks of the spectators, the snake might at least eat the lizard. No results. Rhody, who had been one of us during this snake episode and perhaps was under the impression that the whole affair was designed to give him an opportunity to do a little research on human behavior, lost interest, ran more rapidly than circumstances required off into the shade and began readjusting the set of his plumage. Here the matter ended. The lizard was released and the snake put into his cage for future exploitation. (I suppose he will get tame too). See p. 1209 A young rat, now, that is another story. 5:50 P.M. When Rhody was again looked up at 5 P.M. he was ready for a young rat, hrooing softly as he waited in the shop for me to get it out of the cage. One squeeze and a short wait during which the wretched creature's urine dripped away, and it was gulped without ceremony. Instead of leaving at once Rhody came back into the shop as if for another meal, but only looked curiously at the one offered as a test, then slowly drifted away to dust himself in the road. Wear and tear on Brownie's bill. 7:18 P.M. Just now, at the oval lawn, Brownie came with his satellite for worms, reminding me that his lower mandible is long- er and sharper than the upper. This was first noticed three days ago (disregarding the instance of several weeks ago) because of the sharp prick which he administered when picking a worm from the palm of my hand--a new thing for B, but under the circumstances unavoidable. I will look up past notes and see which was the short one on last occasion......See May 21st. note, when they were of the same length, or with the upper possibly a shade longer, whereas about a week and a half before that the upper was 3 mm. shorter. Earlier in the day B administered one mild repulse to his charge--the first noted. Just now he was all solicitude, so that the youngster was not allowed to pick up worms tossed to him. June 19th. Rhody very docile all day. "Retakes" of movies. Defects of "Koda- chrome" in its present stage of development. As far as known Rhody did not leave the place all day, except when bed-time came somewhat before sunset. He was so do- cile and accommodating that I took the opportunities offered by him in an effort to secure "retakes" of colored movies made previously, and which had suffered badly in the processing. (A preponderance of red, no greens recognizable as such, long parallel scratches on the film, and many other blemishes. In rec- ognition of their liability in the premises, the Eastman Co. furnished a fresh film without charge--not the first instance. My experience to date shows that, at the present time, every one of these defects is to be expected in Kodachrome film. The film should not be used--certainly at the present time--in recording action that can not be reproduced is of rare or exceptional occu- rrence). R announces his presence in cage. When I looked for Rhody about 8:30 A.M. it was without success until one loud rattleboo from the cage, which I had just
