 sight was ])lain evidence of lack of protective coloring, at

 "froze" either for a moment or until we had crept up to with- 

 in a few feet, I felt that it unconsciously, hut surely, count- 

 ed upon being overlooked, or confused with its surroundings. 

 This to my nu'nd, is the only infallible test which we may 

 a])ply with confidence to the consideration of this nuich dis- 

 cussed phenomenon. i\gain I offer a division of the same 

 bird groups based on this <listinction:
