Abstract
We consider triangle-quadrilateral pairs in the hyperbolic plane which "kaleidoscopically'' tile the plane simultaneously. In this case the tiling by quadrilaterals is called a divisible tiling. All possible such divisible tilings are classified. There are a finite number of 1, 2, and 3 parameter families as well as a finite number of exceptional cases.
