The cow then returned at once to its companions, having 
doubtless found as much relief as the man who, in similar 
plight, is sometimes seen to compress his nose to clear it. 
In answer to my request, when this paper was read, for 
further notes from our members, the following have been 
received :— 
The Rev A. R. Winnington-Ingram mentions a dog 
which would deliberately approach a rabbit from the far 
side to drive it towards his master’s gun. He also has a 
cat which rings a bell attached to a keyhole flap on a door, 
and does so not only to enter the room, but also when 
help is desired for the opening of a door leading into 
another room. A spaniel and a greyhound worked hedge- 
rows together for rabbits, one on each side, and the 
spaniel drove the rabbits out for the greyhound to catch. 
To test the communicability of information between a 
pair of pigeons, Mrs A. R. Winnington-Ingram placed 
food for the birds in a fresh place, or concealed it, but in 
sight of one only, and the other bird, on coming into the 
room some time afterwards, always found the food. A 
dog belonging to this lady, when unable to catch a 
Canadian squirrel, went away, and returned with two other 
dogs, and the three soon caught the squirrel. 
Mr Wm. Thompson mentions a dog of his which lived 
on bad terms with the cat, till the former fell ill, when the 
latter one day went up to him and pressed her mouth to 
his nose in a friendly way, and continued on very good 
terms with him while he was ill. The cat had kittens at 
the time; and it may be remembered that at such times 
cats may exhibit an excess of the swaviter in modo as well 
as a good deal of the fortzter im re. 
Mr E. Northam Witchell mentions the sympathetic 
action of a goldfish. One of a couple (the survivors of 
several which had for years occupied a large globe), fell
