been exhibited in that country. Touraco,
rs Chambers Journal explains, Is the
native name of a beautiful group OF birds
peculiar to Africa, and sometimes called
from their food plantain-ea.erS They
are generally supposed to be allied TO the
cuckoos. and they are not altogether I'M
ike some Of them in their external char
ac,ers. An African traveller observed
so long ago rs 1918 that the plantain-
eaters. during heavy showers hide them
selve, in the thickest foliage. As II they
had a special dread of getting wet
There is nothing particularly remark
able about this in fact, many birds show
a dislike OF getting wet feathers; but
the touracos have a much better reason
for this dislike than most other birds.
VI. VerreauN. the traveller referred to,
discovered the reason when he attempted
20 catch touraco which was sheltering
itself during a rain storm He found
tlat when he grasped the feathers the
brilliant crimson coloring matter stained
his hands AMI later he discovered that
The feathers could be washed almost
