The genera Urrua and Huhua likewise include 
Eagle Owls, more or less closely allied to those of the 
genus 4ubo; of these genera, Urrua contains but a 
single species, a native of India ; Awhua, on the con- 
trary, comprise several species, some of which are 
natives of Africa, and others of South-Eastern Asia 
and the adjacent islands. 
It may be remarked, that in the Owls of the genus 
Fluhua, the iris of the eye is of a dark-brown, instead 
of being of a brilliant orange, as in Bubo and Urrua. 
Some of the species of the genus hua preserved in 
the Norwich Museum are birds of great interest and 
rarity. 
The genera of Hornless Owls, at which we have now 
arrived, are the following :— Scofopelia, Myrtha, Bulaca, 
Ciccaba, Macabra, Pulsatrix, Syrnium, Nyctea, Surnia, 
Nyctale, Gisella, Microptynx, Glaucidium, Gymnogtaux, 
Pholeoptynx, Teenioglaux, Microglaux Athene, Spilo- 
glaux, Teraglaux, Ninox, Scleloglaux, Scelostrix, Strix, 
and Phodilus. The genus Scotopelia contains two 
species, one of which, Scotopelia Feli, is alike re- 
markable for its great size, its beauty, and its rarity. 
It is a native of Tropical Africa, and like one of the 
large South African Horned Owls (Huhua verreauxi ), 
has been observed to prey on the wild guinea fowls, 
which are abundant in many parts of that continent, 
and which these large owls capture whilst roosting. 
It also feeds on fish, the remains of which were found 
in the stomach of the specimen originally obtained by
