The species characterized embrace instances of three of the dis- 

 tinct types of dentition indicated in this genus by MM. Cuvier and 

 Valenciennes. 



The original drawings by Mr. Abbott of the Lepidopterous In- 

 sects of Georgia, (engravings from which were published by the late 

 Sir J. E. Smith,) were exhibited. The Committee was indebted to 

 Mr. Henry Brogden, F.L.S. for this exhibition. 



Mr. Vigors referred to a pair of Owls which had been lately 

 added to the Society's collection. These were closely allied to the 

 European Strix jlammea, a species which is found with some slight 

 modifications of character all over the globe ; but from which the 

 present species differs essentially, exclusively of other characters, by 

 the markings of the disk of the face. They were from Australia; 

 and not having appeared to have been noticed by any ornithological 

 writer were characterized as follows. 



Strix personata. Strix pallide badia ; capite suprh, dorso, 

 alisque Jusco brunneo variegatis, albisque guttulis parch sparsis ; 

 corpore infra pallidiori, brunneo parce maculato ; caudd badio 

 brunneoque undulaiim Jasciata ; disco purpurascenti- badio, cir- 

 culo marginali intense brunneo notato ; digitis unguibusquefor- 

 tissimis. 

 Longitudo corporis, 13-J-; alee a carpo ad^apicem remigis 2dae, 9; 

 tarsi, 2 ; caudce, 1\. 



A series of birds, belonging to several Families, which were ap- 

 parently undescribed species, was exhibited by Mr. Leadbeater 

 who mentioned his intention of continuing a similar exhibition du- 

 ring some future meetings of the Committee, and then giving a ge- 

 neral description of the whole.
