PLATE XXXII 



OATES'S HYBRID KALEEGE 



This bird, which some ornithologists have considered to be a species (Gennaeus oatesi), shows great 

 variation in the dozen skins I have examined. We must either give a half-dozen new names to them 

 or consider them as hybrids. Oates's Kaleege represents birds with the blood both of the Black-breasted 

 and Lineated Kaleege, but the latter greatly dominant.
