A SANCTUARY OF THE HYBRID KALEEGE 



The natives of northern Burma captured many specimens of Hybrid Kaleege for me, taking them 

 either in deadfalls or in nooses. But there was one spot near their villages where they would never trap 

 or kill. This was the sacred spot or grove devoted to the Nats or evil spirits. And here the pheasants 

 were safe from molestation, and here they scratched for food and roosted high at night.
