NEW GAME BIRD FOUND.
Oklahoma Species Thought Hybrid Of
Pheasant And Grouse.

Oklahoma City, Oct GA new
species of game bird, particularly
adapted to Oklahoma, has been deyel-
oped at the ranch of DR.. F. B. Fite, in
Mayes county, near Pryor Creek, ac-
cording to statements emanating from
Muskogee sportsmen. The fowl is the
product of cross-breeding of twenty
five ring necked pheasants, liberated
two years ago, and native prairie
chickens.
The new bird is undeniably half
pheasant, and Dr. Fite thus thinks that
it would be contrary to the state law
to kill one of the birds, but the game
wardens and their deputies are author
lied to collect specimens for scientific
purposes, and pair may be captured
or killed and sent to New York for
positive identification Mr.. Hunting
ton writes that he has seen hybrids OF
the ring necked pheasants mated with
both sharp tailed grouse and ruffled
grouse. Whether bybrids are capable
of propagating their species has. not
yet been determined.
