274 LOTSY AND KUIPER A PRELIM. STATEMENT OF THE RESULTS OF MR. 
A CROSS IN WHICH BOTH GALLUS AENEUS AND GALLUS TEMMINCKII 
TOOK PART 
This cross was obtained, by pairing 211.2 2, the father of which was 
Gallus Temminckii 196.2 &, with Gallus aeneus 263.1 & in 1917. The 
restui was a single cockerel 263.2 4 wich lived a little over a year. 
Its geneaiogy consequently was: 
Bankantam 201.2 © x Gallus varius 196.1 & 
F, 196.2 3 (Gallus Temminckii) x Bankantam 201.3 2 
211.2 2 x Gallus aeneus 263.1 3 
| 
263.28 | 
This cock 263.2 was born in Meppel, July 1917 and died August 1918; 
it lies before me and is, with the exception of the peculiar dull black 
ventral surface and the somewhat broadened hackles with their wide 
black central parts, very much like a oankiva-cock. 
There remain to be considered: 
CROSSES IN WHICH BANKANTAMS, SONNERATI AND VARIUS TOOK PART 
These were obtained by crossing the F, bankantam X Sonnerati-hen 
276.8, with our Temminckii-cock ,196.2 in 1921. 
The chicks born got the series-number 619. 
The cock 619.2, so obtained, began to develop in the summer of 1922, 
a varius-collar and a non-serrated varius-comb ; it would probably have 
developed to an animal, very much like its father, but, very unfortunate- 
ly, was, while in Mook, killed by a Putorius in Febr. 1924, which ate 
the whole of the anterior part, so that it could not be made out how the 
collar had developed between the summer of 1923, when we last saw it, 
and its untimely death. 
Both of the hens, 619.5 and 619.6 (Pl. VII) haveacertain , jenesais 
quoi ’ which makes them the most varius-like hens we have obtained 
this is especially the case with 619.5 which shows very strong varius- 
crossbars on some of the wing-and tailfeathers, on the wing-secon- 
daries especially, which are also present on 619.6, but not nearly so dis- 
tinct. The hen 619.5 has also the small size of varius and its pale breast, 
which however has some bankivin brown, a bankivian influence can 
also be seen in the shape and colour of the hackles. It is a great pity, 
that both these animals died while at Mook, as we had great hope to 
.
