298 Messrs. C. G. Danford and J. A. Ilurvie Brown un 



alive at Gyalu, near Klauscnbcrg, and kept for some years in 

 captivity. We can find no other record of its occurrence. 



^39. Buno iGNAVus, Forst. Nayyfdles Bagoly (Great-eared 

 Owl) ; Huhoyo. 



Generally distributed and common, especially in autumn ; 

 but during the spring we only met with them once. 



■^40. Asio OTUs (L.). Erdei Bagohj (Wood-Owl). 

 Generally distributed and not uncommon. 



■^41. AsioACCiPiTRiNUs(Pall.). Nadi bagoly (Reed-Owl). 



This species is very numerous in the fields and reedy ground 

 near Hatzeg, It seems to be the commonest of the Owls, 

 and remains in the country throughout the winter. 



42. Scops Giu (Scopoli). Kis fiiles Bagoly (Little-eared 

 Owl). 



Very rare. Bieltz mentions that there were two obtained in 

 a vineyard at Nagy Enyed, one of which was taken alive. Two 

 were killed by Herr Buda Adam at Hatzeg in summer ; and 

 a specimen, shot at Gyoi'gyfalva, is in the Museum at Klaus- 

 enburg. 



^43. Jynx torquilla, L. Nyak tekeres (Neck-twister). 

 Common in gardens, orchards, and low-lying woods. We 

 found them numerous at Gorgeny. They are migratory. 



■^44. Gecinus viRiDis (L.). Zold Harkdly. 

 Common everywhere among the lower oak- and beech- 

 woods. 



■^"45. Gecinus canus, Gm. Szurke Harkdly. 



Not so common as the preceding, and more local. We 

 did not procure any during our present trip ; but in autumn 

 Danford found that they were not rare among the deciduous 

 woods near Hatzeg, and shot several on the walls of the pic- 

 tm'csque old Roman temple at Demsus. The skull of this 

 Woodpecker seems to be smaller and narrower than in any 

 of the others ; and the skin may be easily drawn over. 



"^40. Drvocopus martius (L) . Fekete Harkdly. 

 Common in the higher woods, and descending to the beaches
