\title{Initial orientation of displaced homing pigeons}
\description{This data set has 108 rows and 2 columns. The observations
are the vanishing bearings of homing pigeons displaced and released at
two unfamiliar locations. The data are pooled with respect to the home
direction (home direction set in 360 grades).
