| Abstract: | - 1.1. Two series of experiments were performed by rearing homing pigeons in two corridor-lofts in each of which they could perceive winds from one direction only (340 and 160° in the first series, 250 and 70° in the second one).
- 2.2. In the first series the two groups of birds were differently, but not homeward, oriented.
- 3.3. In the second series the birds were homeward oriented only when released from sites lying along the directions from which they could sense wind at the home loft.
