Abstract
AbstractAlcohols and carboxylic acids obtained from the uropygial gland waxes of a Grey‐lag goose, a Canada goose and two hybrids (one mothered by a Greylag goose, another by a Canada goose) have been analysed.

The result of the investigation shows that the wax compositions of the hybrids and of their relatives are unlike.
