SENSE OF SMELL.

12th, Miss Best went into the tent with her 

 camera. There was then a gentle south-east wind which 

 blew from the nest towards the tent. The bird returned 

 readily, and did not appear suspicious either of the tent 

 or of the shutter of the camera.

On May 13th, Miss E. L. Turner went to the tent. The 

 bird was away feeding, and Miss Turner therefore entered 

 without being seen. The wind had shifted to the north- 

 west and was then bloAving straight from the tent to the 

 nest. The bird soon returned by her accustomed track, 

 and when mthin a few feet of the nest, she suddenly 

 threw up her head and took wing, screaming with fear. 

 An hour later she came back, only to behave in the same 

 manner, and after this she did not return for the several 

 hours during which Miss Turner waited.
