one and placed it on my hand, as formerly. The pads underneath are still soft. He mounted to my shoulder and gave his peculiar, new call which is topped off by a jerk upward of head and tail. He came down to my lap and ate worms contentedly from the box. when he saw Julio coming, he jumped down and got another leaf. 9:15. At about 8:30 Rhody trotted out to meet me from the bushes near the cage, looking very meek. I could not see Archie and everything was still. I went inside and found him frozen, with upper mandible newly scraped and raw. R came to the cage and looked in quietly. This was too much for A and although he did not go into a panic, the mere sight of Rhody is intolerable to him, and there is no peace for him as long as Rhody can be seen. It is, therefore, evident that he must be taken away. unless matters improve. At 9:25, R in his pine tree, but invisible, Archie calm and interested. He goes to the sand-box and calls for assistance. I help him with his nest. He makes his comical new call and gesture and shows no fear of me whatever, allowing me to put my hands in such a position that, by merely closing them he would be a captive. I may have to "do it", but I don't like, the treachery of it. I suppose I have Territoriality to thank for Rhody's con- tinued presence and to objurgate for its effect upon Archie! The environment from which Archie was abstracted was evidently his territory, since he had been known in the vicinity for nearly 2½ months and I found that Mrs. Gibbons had known his exact roosting place for, as she said, "several weeks". About 10:30 I went into the territory of Archie's enemies and saw Mrs. Walker, the one that hates him especially. Explained what had been done. She readily consented to notify me of any road-runners appeared again. I told her if they did I would try to get them. Archie now seems to be concentrating upon the device of freezing when R is looking for him. It works fairly well and seems to puzzle R. 1:30 P.M. Twice Archie has taken refuge on my lap and sat there quietly "holding my hand" when R has appeared. A touch on the foot does it. Possibly he extracts some comfort from it. Somewhat later when he had taken refuge on the ground near me, this performance was repeated and he became drowsy, his lower lids gradually creeping upward and his eyeballs turning downward. When about to pass into the land of Nod he would sway slightly and then recover, then repeating the cycle again. Rhody stayed away from the cage from about 3 P.M. to 4:30 and Archie relaxed, stretched out on a shelf and had a series of good naps, only to become tense and watchful on R's return. Three times during the afternoon, while I was in the cage, Rhody brought nesting material and dropped it at the mirror. At bed-time Archie sought his old shelf without guidance. When I passed by the cage at 7:30 he caught sight of me through the window and greeted me with one whine.
