(40) Mixed Diglossini, July 23, 1965, V. [[underlined]] geographically [[/underlined]] !!! (It also is difficult to see how they are separated ecologically at this [[underlined]] particuar [[/underlined]] site. The scrub in which the Brun sang was unburnt – but apparently identical, in all important respects, with the unburnt scrub in which Gloriss's were heard to sing earlier.) [[margin]] Gloriss Brun [[/margin]] So far, however, I have no evidence that the territories of individual Bruns and Gloriss's overlap. Also, so far my observations indicate that their songs do not overlap. A few minutes later, see single Yellowbelly [[checkmark]] alone in same area where last Brun seen earlier.

Then more R's, [[underlined]] without [[/underlined]] Za-za's. Catch glimpse bird(s) [[checkmark checkmark]] in flight. Apparently chasing. [[margin]] Brun Sitti [[/margin]] Then catch glimpse Brun [[checkmark]] in tree 12 ft up. Sings phrase after phrase in rapid succession. [[underlined]] Then see that there is a Sitti only 6"-1' away from Brun!!! [[/underlined]] Hopping about quite unconcernedly. Apparently paying absolutely no attention to Brun! Silent. Feeding on clusters of small yellowish white flowers. Brun eventually flies away into another tree, 12-15 ft away. Continues to sing. Sitti continues to feed. But eventually disappears. At approximately same time, Brun
