Warnings 



While Chim showed a dearly marked instinct of protection 

 toward Panzee, in times of danger, it was she who gave what 

 seemed to be a note of warning when any strange creature, 

 such as a squirrel, a horse, or even an automobile came within 

 her vision. 



Under such circumstances, she uttered a characteristic 

 musical phrase of two tones with the word ho in a peculiarly 

 suggestive manner. The first tone, though soft, was clear 

 and sHghtly accented, then immediately suppressed, the 

 second tone being barely audible. This gave it a mysterious 

 quahty that was very distinctive. She also used the first 

 tone alone. 



Below are a few examples^ 



A red squirrel began to chatter in an apple-tree a few rods 

 from the observation room where Panzee sat. She became 

 alert at once, and uttered very slowly:

Chim climbed up on the screen, and watched intently as she 

 continued:
