Obs. This little Owl is said to have nested near 
Oykel, Sutherlandshire (St. John’s ‘Tour in Suther- 
land,’ vol. i. p. 122), and in Castle Eden Dene (Hogg, 
‘History of Stockton on Tees,’ Appendix, p. 14, and 
‘ Zoologist,’ 1845, p. 1054); but in neither case were 
the birds properly identified. As to the first men- 
tioned there can be little doubt, from the description 
of the nest, that the species was the Short-eared Owl.
