The historians Of our race have generally been more concerned with recording the battle of human game cocks than the evolution Of egg laying breeds of hens. It is, however practically agreed that all the Varie- ties--except the silky fowl--were de- rived from this same jungle fowl, which lives wild in the thtckets of northern India, Indo-C China. islands of Malay Archi pelago and in our colonial possession, the Philippines. Darwin main contention regarding the deriva- tion has been established But the ways by which, after the little crea- lures were first tanned, they were handed on to the races beyond the
 great mountain wall of India-all that is as unknown as the origin of the human race itself. Only the Chinese have any definite tradition bearing on
 the subject, a celestial encyclopaedia
 of the sixteenth century stating that the hen was inCrO0uceu rom the suuth- west about 1400 B. C.
