Abstract
IN Yarrell's “British Birds,” 4th ed. vol. iii. p. 69 seg., a number of hybrids between the cock pheasant and the gray hen are enumerated as having occurred in England. Being desirous to give a life-sized and coloured figure of such r a hybrid in my forthcoming work on the black grouse, the capercailzie, and their allies, I wish to borrow a specimen for a short time, and, as my endeavours to procure one have so far been unsuccessful, I beg to make this known through your widely read journal, hoping that some fortunate possessor may be kind enough to communicate with me concerning his willingness to lend me a specimen for the said purpose.
