in places and a tuft of orange-colored hair be¬ 
tween the horns. This animal begins in French 
Guinea and continues in a belt through the 
Kongo to British Central Africa. There is also 
the royal antelope, a little animal about 10 
inches high and 20 inches long, with white chin 
and under surface, the other portions blackish, 
except forehead and nose ridge, and with very 
short horns. 
“Skins of not less than six different varieties 
of monkeys may be obtained in Liberia. Two 
varieties of the white-nosed monkey inhabit a 
section in West Africa from Senegambia on the 
West to Uganda on the east, but the two white¬ 
nosed Liberian monkeys are peculiar to the 
country. 
“In the western part of Liberia may be found 
a little green monkey with a yellowish stomach, 
throat and whiskers, whitish line across the 
brow uniting with the whiskers back of the ear, 
while the top of the head and tail and outside 
of the hands and face are black. It is thought 
by some that this monkey is a modified form 
of the grivet monkey of northeastern Africa, 
grading itself westward across the continent to 
Senegal. 
“The bay-thighed monkey, in color much like 
the Diana, with the difference that the outer 
edge and inside of the thighs are bright chest¬ 
nut red instead of white. A white breast ex¬ 
tending to a white line across the brow, uniting 
the whiskers and shoulders in solid white about 
a dark face, make this monkey one of the most 
peculiar and attractive of animals. 
“Besides the foregoing, the colobus is repre¬ 
sented in Liberia by the red monkey, bluish 
black or dark gray halfway on each side and 
on the top of the head, with its whiskers, throat, 
stomach and other portions of the body a rich 
chestnut red. Belonging to the same species is 
another monkey, called in Liberia the man¬ 
grove monkey, which may be seen in troops in 
the mangrove thickets. There are two forms 
of the lemurs, the botto and the galago. 
“In Liberia may also be found the striped 
jakal and two kinds of otters, the clawless and 
the spotted-necked otttrs. The clawless type 
is much larger than the European or the spot¬ 
ted-necked otter, yet from each of them may be 
secured splendid skins. The Liberian water 
chevrotain also has a fine skin. This animal is 
a rich brown, slightly darker in the male than 
in the female, with white spots or streaks run¬ 
ning horizontally along the sides. 
“Others that may be obtained are the hides 
oLthe common Liberian cattle and the skins of 
the alligator and python, the python reaching 
in this country an enormous size, often twenty 
feet and more in length. 
“The different hides and skins sell for much 
the same from one season to another. Ante¬ 
lope and monkey skins may be bought for 
from 25 to 50 cents each. The large monkey 
and other skins sometimes command 75 cents. 
The common cowhide sells for $1.00. The small 
skins of the cat family may be secured for from 
Sc cents to $1.50 for the golden cat and from 
$3.00 to $5.00 for leopard skins. The alligator 
and the python skins vary in price, beginning 
with $1.25 and running up, according to size, 
to as' high as $7.20 each. Most of these skins 
can easily be obtained from the natives with 
powder, gin. cloth, tobacco and salt, very much 
cheaper than these prices.” 
QUAIL IN INDIANA. 
“Quails are becoming very tame in Brown 
county and are staying in the barnyards of 
farmers. Several coveys have come to the 
yards of town residences. The deep, frozen 
snow makes it impossible for the birds to get 
food. Farmers are feeding the birds, which 
have become so well'acquainted with the eating 
places that they come every day to the barn¬ 
yards. 
Their food is placed on boards out of the 
snow and the farmer stands and watches them 
eat. Some of the birds have been found dead, 
and it is believed they died of starvation. The 
Hungarian pheasants, which were placed on 
the Weed Patch hill reserve several years ago, 
are also being fed. There are hundreds of these 
birds in Brown county.—Indianapolis News.
