8. Pisorhina manadensis kalidupae subsp. nov. 

 An adult pair and a young little horned owl from Kalidupa (Nos. 4486, 4487, 

 and 4488) appear to belong to a new subspecies of this vexed group.^ They differ 

 widely from F. manadensis manadensis of Celebes and the latter s close ally 

 P. manadensis albiventris (apparently only distinguishable, as a rule when a series 

 is compared, by its whiter abdomen) in their much larger size. In their dimensions 

 they agree with P. manadensis leucospHus from the Northern Moluccas, rather than 

 with P manadensis ma,,ica from the Southern Moluccas. They are in fact, hardly 

 distinguishable from P. manadensis kucospilus, but there is a remarkable diBereiice 

 in the extent of the feathering on the metatarsus. In typical P. manadensis 

 UacosrAlnsUnd P. manadensis magica) the feathers do not reach quite down to 

 the toes, so that about four millimetres of the lower metatarsus remain bare. In 

 P. manadensis kalidupae the feathers extend fully down the metatarsus, ngh on to 

 the beginning of the toes. The specimens from Kalidupa are also ren.arkable lor the
