We have six specimens of this rare owl from Trang south- 

 wards to Selangor, all agreeing well with Hume's and Sharpe's 

 descriptions. We cannot agree that both *S'. i.. newarense and 

 >S'. i. mainr/ayi can occur in the same area, and the specimen referred

 p. 484) must be *Si. i. maihgayi, as we have a specimen from within
