tained a statuesque pose. A verged upon panic, made one "pass"a at the wire netting, but apparently remembering, drew back in time to avoid injury. R came down. A retreated to sanctuary in upper annex in the acacia foliage. R looked for A in the mirror, darted off in a series of fantastic loops through the bushes away from the cage, then retired behind it. At 10:10 he came back, but at no time was he really aggressive either then or previously. I got a mouse for him, but he walked by me headed for the observatory. (The roof of this rolls off on to an elevated pergola. Boston Ivy, Ampelopsis Veitchii grows on both). R suddenly pulled off a three foot dead section and headed along the roof for his favorite pine, changed his mind and made for the mirror, presented his trophy there, then carried it up to 5-36, having forgotten all about Archie, apparently, who remained in seclusion. Archie had approached panic at one stage, but had not quite reached it. If he is too much disturbed by R he will be taken away as stated. He will not "stand up" to Rhody at all. Archie greets me. At 10:50 I went to the cage again, R not in sight. Archie greeted me by lowering his head and whining. (Like old times). He went up into the remains of the nest that he and Terry had built, lowered his head and kept on whining. I went inside and offered him a twig. He did not want it, but cocked up head and tail and uttered a sound, new in my experience with road-runners: an extremely low pitched rattling sound deep in his throat. He stiffened up at once upon sight of Rhody coming, but did not conceal himself, pacing back and forth in full view, using my knee as a stepping stone in his course. Archie has lost the gentle look which he and Terry had and which Rhody still keeps. He looks wild and wary and is understandably nervous and jumpy. The yellow ring about his pupil is much more prominent than it was and seems wider even than Rhody's. This gives his eyes a staring effect. As his head is ragged he looks unkempt. He is poulting, but his tail feathers are bright and colorful. He looks no larger and the difference between him and Rhody remains. At 11:30 Rhody was again at the cage, displaying more actively. Archie remained in plain sight. R gave up trying to make an im- pression, clown ed in the bushes, then consoled himself by taking a twig up to 5-36. 1:40 P.M. If Rhody is not [illegible] in sight from the cage--A being therefore, more at ease , I find that he whines on seeing me when I reappear. This has happened on each of the three visits since last paragraph. About noon, when I was sitting inside the cage on the old bench with which he is familiar, he brought three separate loads of leaves, twigs, etc. and dropped them at my feet. He also brought a stone. The next time I was there he brought a leaf and dropped it on my shoulder and then appeared to study my face. Just now he started moving a few scattered twigs that were in the sand-box, from one end to the other, whining. I offered him more twigs. These he took and rubbed carefully into the sand in a rough semicircle about himself. He tired of this and went to the old nest, above referred to, and began to whine. I handed him one twig after another--about a dozen--all of which he placed
