mixed with white, particularly on the inner side, and at the 

 points. The horns are not very remarkable. The eyes are 

 surrounded with a well-marked circle of white, stiff, bristly 

 feathers ; the eyelids are fringed with black ones. The ears 

 are oval and small. The bill is yellow, curved, and sur- 

 rounded at the base by bristles, which are directed forwards, 

 and are as long as the bill ; those on the upper mandible 

 black, on the lower white. The legs are feathered to the 

 toes. Tail rather short, with white bands and tips. Wings 

 equal in length to the tail. 



This species agrees generally in character with the Striz Bubo, 

 but has the colour of S. nyctea. 



2. SRIX Lempiji*. 



The second species resembles the 5. Scops of Europe, being 

 of the same size, but differs in some degree in its colours, which 

 are a mixture of brown and buff, darker on the back and lighter 

 on the breast, which is moreover marked with narrow arrow- 

 shaped spots of black. 



3. STRIX SCUTULATA. 



The third is a hornless species, about ten inches in length, 

 brown above, lighter and variegated with white below : the tail 

 with black bands ; legs feathered to the toes ; yellow irids ; and 

 wings shorter than the tail. 



PSITTACUS. 



The species of this genus are much less numerous in Sumatra 

 and the Malay peninsula than in the more eastern islands, par- 

 ticularly the Moluccas. The following are natives of the former 

 countries.
