THE BIRDS OF SCUTH-WEST AND PENINSULAR SIAM. Ill 



166. Otus luciae (Sharpe). 



Ueteroscops lucia^, Shuipe, Ibis, 1888, p. 478 Kiiui Bnlu, Borneo). 

 Ueleroscops vhI^jcs, O. Ci-int, Bull. li)it. Oin. Club, xix, ItiOU, [i. 11 

 (PHliang); H., p. 91 (Bandon). 



Our single female from Bandon differs in certain respects 

 from the rest of our series from the more southern parts of the 

 Peninsula, notably in the colour of the flanks and abdomen, but we 

 are not as yet prepared to nan«e it, nor do we think that the separa- 

 tion of the Mala^^an and Borneau birds is justified on the existing 

 material. 



167. Otus scops malayana (Hay). 



Scops malayana, Hay, Madras Journ. L. S , 18^5, xiii, pt. 2., p. 



147 (Malacca); B., p. 76 (Junk Seyloii) ; F., p. 31 (Tr.mg, 



Laugkriwi Ids ). 

 Olui scops malayana, J., p. 145 (Langkawi Ids.) ; L., p. 94 (Junk 



Seylon.). 

 Scops pennatus, A., p. 34 (Mergui). 



The Little Owl is fairly common in the north of the Penin- 

 sula and is met with in two phases, a gieyish brown and a clear 

 rufous. The synonymy is so complicated, and the question of local 

 races so obscure, that we have placed all our specimens under Hay's 

 name, though it is possible that other or earlier titles may properly 

 apply. 



168. Otus bakkamoena lettia (Hodgs.). 



Scops lettia, Hodg.son, Asiat. lies, xix, 1836, p. 176 (Nepal). 

 Ottis bakkamoena lettia, J., p 145 (Pulau Diiyang Bunting, Lang- 

 kaNvi Ids.). 



Probably only a migrant or winter \isitor in the extreme 



south of Peninsular Siam, but certainly separable from 0. h. lempiji 



on account of its much larger size. It is this form which is common 



in Bangkok. 



169. Otus bakkamoena lempiji (Horsf.). 



Scops lempiji, Horpf., Trans. Linn. Soc, xiii, 1821, p. 140 (Java) ; 



v., p. 31 (Langkawi Ids.) ; H., p. 91 (Bandon). 

 Otus bakkamoena lempiji, J., p. 145 (Langkawi Ids.).
