up to the top of the wall to where I stood. I then tried to induce him to follow to the mousery at the other end of the house, but he would not follow and seemed fearful of his surround- ings, though he is perfectly familiar with them. This attitude perhaps reflects his recent narrow escape or else fear of the hawks. When I returned with the mouse he was again outside the fence in the open, but again returned and ate the mouse, going back to the bushes on the west lot. He was not seen inside again during the day. At 4 P.M., thinking that his unusually heavy repast might have satisfied him for the day and thus caused him to retire early, I went to his roost. He was already safely installed for the night. (Temp. 63), sunset 5:05). Brownie missing. I have not been able to locate Brownie or Nova for two days, but the thrasher to the south was singing this morning. Hawks? November 9th. At 8:30 A.M. (Temp. 54, no wind, sun shining on Rhody's roost) that animal was still in his night roost. At 9:30 he was at his observation post at the top of the bank and would not come to the fence to get his worms, so I compromised by going to him. He stayed there or thereabouts all of the forenoon. Some time between 2 and 3 P.M. he visited the cage for meat, as wit- nessed by the absence of three large pieces of Hamburger and the presence of his k-shaped tracks in the sand spread about the dish for the purpose of recording his unseen comings and goings. He could not be found in the vicinity of the cage at 3 P.M. and although the hearty meal indicated that he was probably finished for the day, and was probably on the way to his roost, I did not expect to find him there, but I went nevertheless. At 3:15 he was already at his third position in the ladder tree, and at exactly 3:25 he landed in his roost for the night. (Temp. 64). It was bright and sunny, windless and mild. In fact hot on south exposed banks. Certainly there was nothing in the weather to account for his early roosting. The logical explanation seems to be that he really had nothing else to do for the rest of the day, since he had satisfied his appetite, and anticipated that the amount eaten would carry him through to the morrow. Brownie and Nova still absent. Nothing was seen or heard of either of these birds during today. Hawks? There is, of course a possibility that they may have a nest elsewhere. Brownie has had 2 very much out of season nests here so far; the second one resulting in nothing but a sleeping place for the winter. November 10th. Rhody's roosting period. Rhody came down from his roost at exactly 8:45 A.M. It is possible that he would not have come down so soon if he had not seen me standing across the street and been reminded of worms. Here is a case where we have the exact length of time spent by him in his roost, viz: 17 hours and 20 minutes. (Temp. at 8:45, 53. Bright and sunny, somewhat windy). (It is chilly in the wind. See comment of Nov.4th. on sensations under same temp. conditions without wind).
