were actively "educating" the other children of the neighborhood about Archie. No doubt Archie's opportune support of me before their very eyes proved convincing. I feel a little guilty, after having praised him to the skies and telling them how to approach him and gain his friendship and protect him, about sneaking in and spiriting him away. The next step is to see how he reacts to confinement. June 27th. At about 7:15 A.M. Archie was found friendly and undisturbed in his old surroundings, apparently not at all concerned about being surrounded by wire netting. He accepted a young rat readily. The next step is to see how he reacts when Rhody finds him in the cage. If too badly frightened he will have to be released, but, this time, will be taken out to Lake Chabot. 8:50 A.M. At 8:30 Rhody was at the cage staring into it intently. Archie was out of sight booing, hence frightened. Rhody next went to the mirror and began looking into it and behind it. It is months since he has done this. He studied his reflection calmly as if to determine whether it was Archie. There was no display. His actions were those that one associates with reasoning beings. He gave up, plainly puzzled; considered adding something to nest 5-36, but followed me to the shop-yard; changed his mind and went to the observatory roof. I went into the cage to look up Archie. I actually could not see him until I first heard the sound of his feet on a perch in the acacia foliage. He came down, booed once, but did not seem to be afraid of me, then went to the outer cage to sun and preen. There was no sign of his having made any effort to escape from the cage at any time, but further encounters with Rhody will be closely watched. Examination shows that, due to the injury at the back of his head, both skin patches are suffused with green throughout. The normally white portions are entirely green. The "red" is greenish orange. All wounds are healing. He may have been creased by a bullet. It is strange that, after all the vicissitudes through which he has passed, during 2½ months, he should not fear me. Likewise it is noteworthy that he has retained (presumably) the fear of Rhody which he acquired only during the last two or three days of his captivity. Rhody and Archie. 10:25. At 9:40 Archie was resting quietly on the ground in the S.W. corner of the outer cage as Rhody approached from the west. He had been picking up pine-needles and leaves and walking back and forth parallel to the wire just before that, as if wanting to take them to a nest outside. (I.e. Archie had). Rhody was really headed for the magpies, I think, and could not understand why there was now a door to interfere with his entrance. On seeing each other, both birds cocked up head and tail; Archie retreated, stiff-leggedly, to the inner cage and booed once. Rhody watched quietly. Finally he mounted to the roof over A's head and A went to the point farthest away, in fear. R selected a point on the roof where he could see most of the inside of the cage. A paced up and down restlessly looking for a place to get out, but not in panic. R shifted to a still better place on the roof. A froze at once, as he does for a hawk. The first time one road-runner has been observed to freeze for another. R main-
