Bonhote ^° records it from Bukit Besar, Jalor, Pataiii; Ogilvie- 

 Graiit ^' from Ban Sai Kaii and Biserat, Patani; Robinson and Kloss *^ 

 from Chong, Trang; Williamson ^ from Bandon; Robinson and 

 Kloss ^* from Koh Boi Yai, Puket; Baker ^^ from Kong Wang Hip. 

 All these localities are in Peninsular Siam. Herbert ^^ collected two 

 eggs from two nests in the Samkok District, Februarj^ 23, 1914, and 

 February 15, 1916. Robinson and Kloss ^^ state that this owl is 

 commoner in the northern parts of the Peninsula than farther south. 

 It probably extends through southern Siam, as it occurs in Cochin- 

 china. 



KETUPA KETUPU AAGAARDI (Nenmann) 



Bubo ketvpu aagaardi Neumann, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, vol. 55, p. 138, 1935 

 (Bangnara, Patani, Peninsula Siam). 



One male and one female, Bangnara, Patani, May 25, 1924, and 

 July 5, 1926. 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected a male at Prahmon, Trang, April 4, 1896 

 and a female and male in Tenasserim (Tanjong Badak, December 

 1903; Boyces Point, February 9, 1904). He gives the soft parts as: 

 Iris orange-yellow; bill black, cere horn blue or pale brown (in one 

 male and one female), pale leaden, cere leaden (in one male); feet 

 dirty whitish (in one male, not given for the other two). 



The specimen in which the bill is stated to have been pale leaden 

 has now faded to a horn color, quite different from the other two skins 

 taken by Dr. Abbott. The specimen appears to be adult. 



The above five specimens are paler above and below than two speci- 

 mens examined by me from Java, which confirms the claims of the 

 describer. The two specimens from Bangnara are paler below, with 

 narrower black shaft streaks, than the male from Trang and the male 

 and female from Tenasserim. The female from Bangnara is very 

 light colored above and the shaft streaks below are very narrow. It is 

 probably a bird of the year that is fully grown but has not acquired 

 the full adult plumage. 



There are numerous records for Peninsular Siam from Patani north 

 to Pakchan; Robinson ^^ reports that Kloss obtained it at Ok Yam 

 in southeastern Siam. 



One of Kloss's specimens from Ok Yam was afterward acquired by 

 the United vStates National Museum. It is a male, veiy dark; darker
