Today I twice saw Julia pick up a stick with her tail. The first time I have ever seen a Spider do anything of this sort. Quite unlike [[underline]] Cebus [[/underline]]. Julia just held these sticks for a while, and then dropped them.

This morning I started to watch the Reds at dawn. All sleeping all together. One of the 1/4 grown young was sleeping pressed against the adult ♂ Then the adult ♂ woke up and moved away Leaving the young isolated. The young immediately began to vocalize, S Trills and Screams, all mixed up in random order. Good evidence that S Trills are still primarily Lost Calls at this stage.

Tonight I did a little experimenting with my 2 smallest Reds. (These are both probably somewhat older than Abdomeno, although smaller. They are probably both smaller because they have been ill recently, and have always eaten less than Abdomeno.) The larger of these 2 small Reds is the "clutchy" ♂ mentioned above, p. 35. I shall call him "C". The other is ♀.  I shall call her "D". They have both been in cages by themselves quite a lot, because of their illnesses. They have been kept together in a small cage in the animal house for over two days now. C clutching D pretty steadily.
