529. Boag, D. A. (1972). Effect of radio packages on behavior of captive red grouse. J. Wildl. Mgmt, 36, 511-8.
Activity and food consumption in some experimental birds was significantly depressed compared to that of controls; but the differences decreased with time.
530. Brooks, J. E. & Bowerman, A. M. (1971). Estrogenic steroid used to inhibit reproduction in wild Norway rats. J. Wildl. Mgmt, 35, 444-9.
Results in laboratory and field showed considerable promise as a potential method of control.

534. Duval, D. M. (1972). A record of slug movements in late summer. J. Conch., Lond. 27, 505-8.
A study of the homing habit of the field slug (Agriolimax reticulatus). After random nocturnal crawling in search of food, a more or less direct course for shelter is pursued at dawn, resulting in constant change of daytime resting places rather than the establishment of a permanent base. Some other species of slug have also been shown to exhibit no pronounced homing tendency. This results in a wider foraging area being covered-with increased chance of finding poison bait-than if the slugs set out each night from the same fixed base.

relative to the models were used. Imperfect mimics were protected when at low frequencies but not when at high frequencies.
549. Poczopko, P. (1971). Metabolic levels in adult homeotherms. Acta theriol. 16, 1-21.
The general level of metabolic rate increases from marsupials through mammals and non- passerine birds to passerine birds. It is suggested that the metabolic level of bats is similar to that of marsupials.
550. Prins, R. A. & Geelen, M. J. H. (1971). Rumen characteristics of red deer, fallow deer, and roe deer. J. Wildl. Mgmt, 35, 673-80.
