Obs. Some remarks by the late Mr. John Wolley, 
on the nesting of this bird in Lapland, will be found 
in the ‘ Zoologist, 1857, p. 5838, and Newton’s ‘ Oo- 
theca Wolleyana,’ part i. p. 165. 
While these pages were passing through the press, 
the publication, in parts, of a fourth edition of Yar- 
rell’s ‘ History of British Birds’ had commenced, under 
the editorship of Professor Newton. In parts 11. and 
iii. of that work (pp. 146-198) will be found an 
admirable history of every species of Owl which has 
occurred in Great Britain to the present time. 
The account given of each is so full, while at the 
same time the changes which are proposed in the 
nomenclature are so important, that without refer- 
ence to this portion of the work the foregoing remarks 
upon Owls would be incomplete.
