equal conditions OF atmosphere and
cause for fight for all creatures, hui
man or other, seek their highest rate
of speed under the influence of fear.
A recent writer declares that in a
race of, say. 200 yards he would back
a bird which, though not found in Brit
ain. is indigenous to most of the rest of
Europe and is especially familiar in
Scandinavia-the hazel hen or geli-
notte.
Yet, curiously enough, this is one of
the forest haunting birds which, like
the American fool hen" usually fly
up into tree when flushed and, re-
jecting further attempts at escape.

writer referred to above, ION the rare
occasions land that they are rare
notte in the open | have never seen
any bird fly so'fast nor move it's wings
with such extraordinary rapidity."
Next to it at any rate one must sure
ly place the teal, which has marvel
Gus knack of getting under way quick

give the third place to bluerock pig
