58. Scops pennatus. 



? . Bangkimtsing. Bought from a native. Iris yellow. 

 Bangkimtsing name '^ Phu chian." It is strange that the 

 natives should distinguish between these two species of Scops, 

 but this seems certainly to be the case. 



59. Circus, sp. inc. 



I do not know to what species the Harriers seen on 

 the return journey from Bangkimtsing should be referred. 

 They may be roughly described as having a white head, a 

 white shoulder-patch, and general colour brown.
