 Two specimens from the highlands of Padang are probably refer- 

 able to this species. The original descriplioa gives the under- wing 

 coverts as pure wliite, but in these examples the ends of the longest 

 of these feathers near the edge of the wing are clouded with slaty 

 black. The wing measurements are : 



Ketupa ketupa (Horsf.). 



Strix ketupa Horsfield, Trans. Linn. See, XIII, p. 141, 1831. Java. 

 One example from Padang and two from Lampong. 



Huhua orientalis sumatrana (Raffl.). 



Strix sumatraaa RafBes, Trans. Linn. Soc, XIII. p. 279, 1833. 

 Sumaira. 



Two specimens from the highlands of Padang. 



Raffles described a young bird, but both Schlegel and Hartert 

 consider the Sumatra form distinct from H. orientalis Horsf. of 

 Java, and this name must therefore be adopted.

 men, supposed to have come from India. 



Four examples from Lampong.

Three specimens from Padang and one from Lampong district. 

 These birds seem in some respects intermediate between the figures 

 given on PI. 11, Vol. XVII of the Catalogue of Birds, representing 

 E. orientalis and E. calonyx, but are closer to the latter. None 

 of them have the terminal part of the tail plain black ius shown in 

 the figure of orientalis, but, on the contrary, the outer webs are
