It is found that Sfrvx cannot be used for the Barn Owls, since 
the Barn Owl did not occur in the 10th edition of the Systema 
Nature (Strix aluco of 1758 proves to be the Wood Owl, or S. stridula 
of the same date, and not, as generally supposed, the Barn Owl), 
and Brisson, in 1760, fixed the type of Striv as S. aluco. (CP. 
Auten, Auk, XXV, July, 1908, 288-291.) The generic name 
Strix is therefore transferred to the group hitherto known as 
Syrnium, while the family name Bubonide will give way to Strigide.
