Ninox albaria, Ramsay, p.37(note). 



Hah. — Lord Howe Island. 



In his Tabular List, Ramsay places this species in the column 

 devoted to the birds of Norfolk Island, but in the note- describes 

 it as from Lord Howe Island. 



I frequently heard the cry of this bird at night, but did not 

 .see it. The cry resembles that of Ninox boobook.
