Abstract
A hybrid specimen of L. punctulata × L. atricapilla is described and shown by photo. This was found among 100 birds of L. atricapilla and L. malacca, and it is added that there is variation from white-breast of malacca to chestnut brown of atricapilla. Hence, the two species are treated as one by Ripley (1961).
