In animals. one need only look at the
common ruled grouse, or partridge,
Of North America. and consider how
hard Il Is to see him In the woods.
even where nothing interyenes 10 hide
him from view. His oolors agree so
well with the background against
which he stands that the eye is slow
to make him out. Mr.. Gregory, In his
recent volume OF African travel, THE
Great Rift Valley" mentions several
striking instances OF animals thus pro
tected. among which that OF a certain
monkey. Colobus credentials. Is per.
haps the most peculiar. This monkey
is covered with a long. silky fur ar.
ranged In alternate stripes Of black and
white. so handsome that the skin Il
much prized BY the natives for making
head ornaments. The contrast OF black
and white Is 80 marked that at FIRST
sight Il would seem 10 preclude con-
cealmcnt. but is value Is az once evil
dent when the animal Is seen At home
Il lives In high forests. where the trees
have black trunks and branches, drapel
with long gray masses Of beard-moss
or lichen. AS the monkeys hang from
the branches they resemble the llchor
so closely that Mr. Gregory found Il
impossible to recognize them. even al
short distance.
