The Gruinea fowl does not trust much to its wings as a means of escape from danger ; indeed, it is not without some difficulty that these birds can be forced to take to flight, and then they wing their way only to a short distance, when they alight, and trust to their swiftnesss of foot. They run with very great celerity, are shy and wary, and seek refuge 168 THE GUINEA FOWL. amongst the dense underwood, threading the mazes of their covert with wonderful address. The female in- cubates in some ...concealed spot on the ground ; for the male, as in the case of the turkey, will break the eggs if he discovers them. This habit, unnatural as it may- be deemed, appears to be very common among galli- naceous birds. The domestic cock, however, evidently shares in the triumph of the hen, when she has laid her eggs, and answers her peculiar note or cackle of joy- it cannot be for a moment doubted that the ancient Greeks and Romans were well acquainted with two or three species of the Gruinea fowl, the descriptions of which hardly answer to those of the present day ; con- sequently it is not easy to trace out its history.
