impossible I don't think that the Hdd and HL can be [[underlined]] very [[/underlined]] high intensity patterns Probably produced by much the same range of motivation as in other species. I don't know what the motivational difference, if any, can be between the Hdd and HL patterns themselves

A gradually overcame his alarm, to some extent, and by late afternoon he was making constant attempts to approach X. Slow, cautious irregular approaches & circling movements, interrupted by lots of little panic flights back a couple of feet or so. All these approaches were accompanied by lots of BT. Also a relatively small but actually appreciable number of sharp sounds which sounded very much like the Q of the Panama Puiche's, and even more like the Q of the Squirrel Monkey. These were sometimes given while A was actually approaching X, but more often (I think) when he was at a temporary "standstill", when he was standing or walking or running on a branch a few feet or a few yards from X but not actually approaching it to any appreciable extent. Interestingly enough, when A started these BT-Q patterns he almost completely stopped the MGB-S Trll patterns. The BT-Q patterns are obviously relatively much more aggressive than the MGB-S Trll, and I suppose that the BT is more aggressive than the Q. (None of the patterns by A seemed to provoke a response by X at any time. X just sat ignoring A.)

An interesting reaction by X yesterday, which I forgot to mention above, was lateral shaking of the head ("Lsh"). This tended to occur whenever I looked at it intently (and [[probably?]] occasionally at other times) Sometimes silent Sometimes accompanied by MGB. Sometimes accompanied by S Trll's (perhaps most commonly?). Rather reminiscent of the SF of the Puiche's, and the shaking of the head
