Abstract
IN the course of experimental work of a nutritional and physiological character at the National Institute for Research in Dairying, R. Braude has noted some interesting features about the behaviour of pigs (Bull. Animal Behaviour, No. 6; January 1948). These observations have been recorded without any attempt to fit them into the framework of existing theories of behaviour, and, in the words of Dr. E. S. Russell, they merely "serve to illustrate what is the most characteristic feature of behaviour, namely, that the animal tries or strives to do something specific, that it seems to achieve some end, to satisfy some need".
