tree TO tree and following us closely,
Somewhat later it gave the most re.
maIkable instance Of tameness that
have ever seem Having followed us for
about two miles, it waited in q tree
during the hustle and confusion of
making camp, but in the afternoon,
when all was quiet and some of our
men were asleep, the bird became ex-
ceedingly familiar, walking on the
ground near us and finally perching on
our extended hands,
1t was soon evident that the object of
our visitor was to catch mosquitoes,
which were lowering in swarms around
our heads. 1t pecked at ring on my
hand, at our needles, and, in fact, any
metal article. But the climax was
reached when by accident the bird saw
its own image III small looking glass
which lay on the ground, Then, with
extended wings and open bill, it ut
tered cries of rage and pecked madly at
the glass in which an enemy appeared,
Among the solitudes of mountain for
