First [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] Whistle songs heard 6:09 am. NODWAH Quite a lot of [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] Singing by 6:17. Also hear some Rfl's. Rfl's and [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] Songs apparently overlapping at random. Then both shut up.

[[margin]] Laf [[/margin]] Then hear first (brief) Laf song 6:19. NODWAH. Shuts up. 

Then more [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] Songs. NODWAH.

[[margin]] Laf [[/margin]] 6:29. Walking down road. Quite a lot of [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] Songs and Rfl's. But little or no Laf Song. Perhaps the Laf's here are [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] in breeding condition. 

[[margin]] Laf [[/margin]] 6:34. Further down, there [[underlined]] is [[/underlined]] more Laf Song. NODWAH. But not very long untamed.

[[margin]] Laf [[/margin]] 7:17 et req. Lots of Laf Song here. All NODWAH.

[[margin]] Gen [[/margin]] COMMENTS: It may be worthwhile to stress one point. There does [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] seem to be any (appreciable) overt hostility between the different species of the "Diglossine Social Complex" either here or near Papallacta, in spite of the fact that mixed flocks occur in both areas. [[underlined]] This is another indication that the variations in social behavior within the Diglossnie assemblage and the corres [[/underlined]]
