474. Scops brasilianus. 



Scops brasilianus (Gm.), Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. ii. 

 p. 108. 



Scops choliba (Vieill.), Cab. in Schomb. Guiana, iii. p. 733. 

 Roraima (3500 ft.). 



475*. Scops asio? 



Scops asio ?, Cab. in Schomb. Guiana, iii. p. 733. 

 I do not know to what bird this name refers, but it can 

 hardly be S. asio, a North-American species. 



476. PULSATRIX TORQUATA. 



Athene torquata (Daud.), Cab. in Schomb. Guiana, iii, 

 p. 732. 



Syrnium perspicillatuin (Lath.), Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus,

478. CiCCABA SUPERCILIARIS. 



Syrnium superciliare, Pelz. Verb. z.-b. Ges. Wien, 1863, 

 p. 1125; Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. ii. p. 271. 



Camacusa, Roraima (3500 ft.). 



The two birds in Mr. Whitely's collection agree with the 

 specimen in the British Museum from Brazil thus named by 

 Mr. Sharpe. The other specimen in the same Museum from 

 Para has, as Mr. Sharpe has pointed out, a darker tail, 

 with fewer and lighter bars. It has been suggested to me 

 by Mr. Gurney that the Guiana n birds may belong to the 

 unrecognized Strix cayefinensis, Gm. ; but, judging from 

 Buffon's plate, I hesitate to accept this identification. 



479*. Speotyto cunicularia. 



Athene cunicularia (Mol.), Cab. in Schomb. Guiana, iii.
