THE GAY TOURACO.
WHEN EXPOsED TO THE RAIN HIS
BEAUTIFUL COLoRs DIS
APPEAR.

At the present moment the
menagerie Of the Geological Society,
Regents Park, has an unusually
large number Of tOuracos, a species
Of birds which has not before been
exhibited in this country. TOurac0
is the native name Of n beautiful
group Of birds peculiar to Africa,
and sometimes called, from their
food, planIain eaters. They are gen.
orally supposed TO be allied TO the
cuckOos, and they are not altOge-
Their unlike some of them in their
external characters. An African
traveller observed 50 long ago as 1915
that the plantain eaters during hea-
Wy showers hide themselves in the
thickest foliage, as if they had q
special dread Of getting wet
There is nothing particularly re-
markable about this; in fact, many
birds show a dislike TO getting wet
feathers, but the tOuracos have n
much better reason for this dislike
than most other birds. NJ. Yer
reaux, the traveller referred 10, dis
covered the reason when he at
tempted TO catch a tOuracn which
was shelteriDg itself during n storm
Of rain. He found that when he
grasped the feathers the brilliant
crimson colOring matter stained his
hands, and later he discovered that
the feathers could be washed almost
white.
To find colors that "rIn'' in the
- Hid l.
pected, and II is not surprising 10
hear that one naturalist who pur-
chased some skins thought himself
to have been deceived with arti-
ficially painted birds. The color
comes out so readily that when a
toursco is shot and falls into n pool
it stains the surrounding water, not
so much with its blood as with the
red dye from its wing feathers.
1Ouraeos are not, however, entirely
colored by this peculiar substance;
they have great deal OF greer
about them, and this green is due 10
the presence Of a green pigment
which appears TO be convertible
into the red substance 10y prolonged
boiling. The green pigment, un.
like the red, is ''fast' color.
Most birds that are colOred green
owe this color, at least plrtly,to fine
markings upon the feathers, and all
''metallIc" c1loTs, such As the hril-
liant greens, blues and reds OF the
hummIng birds, are due to the OPP
teal effects caused by the structure
Of the feathers, and have nothing 10
do with any pigment Of the same
color within the substance OF the
feathers. There are thus two sources
Of color among birds, and it is re-
markable fact that in many cases
where the male birds have a bril-
liant coloration and the females are
soberly clad, the color is a ''mechan-
ically' caused color; for instance,
in the humming birds. The tOur-
cos do not show this difference be-
tween the sexes; the female resem-
bles her mate, and there is no supe-
riority ON either side, but an absolute
equality.-C,Gni6eTs' Journal.
