THE RED SQUIRREL — KLUGH 523 



one place with it, pause a moment, then return and deposit it in 

 some other place. I have also repeatedly seen it store a piece of food 

 in one place, come back a short distance, pause, return to the food, 

 seize it and place it in another location, and I have also seen it re- 

 turn to a piece of food it has just stored in a fork of a tree and re- 

 arrange it. As to what actually passes in the mind of a squirrel we 

 are, unfortunately, completely in the dark; all we can do is to draw 

 inferences from its behavior and keep these inferences as far as pos- 

 sible untinged by our own mentality. But from close and long- 

 continued observation I am convinced that the mental processes of the 

 red squirrel are far more varied and complicated than is usually sup- 

 posed, especially by those who pin their faith to experiments on 

 animals under entirely unnatural conditions.
