1918 J Bangs and Noble, Birds of Peru. 449 



Remarks. Undoubtedly this is the Scops Owl, recorded by Salvadori 

 and Festa (Boll. Mus. Zool. Torino. XV, p. 33, 1900) from Vinces, western 

 Ecuador, and referred by them with much doubt to Scops guatemalce 

 Sharpe. 



Our specimens are easily told from O. guatemalce or O. vermiculatus 

 (Ridg.), but strangely enough are very like the more northern and very 

 local O. cassini in color. Their much larger size will, however, at once 

 distinguish them. 



Pulsatrix perspicillata perspicillata (Lath.). One adult 9, Perico, 

 September 10. 



This skin agrees almost exactly with specimens in the collection of T. E. 

 Penard, from the vicinity of Paramaribo, Surinam. The toes are feathered 

 almost to the claws, and it certainly belongs here and not to P. melanonota 

 (Tschu.). 



Glaucidium jardinii (Bp.). Three adults, one male, two females, 

 Perico, September. 



All of the Pygmy Owls secured were taken during the daytime in the 

 thick but very dry patches of wood which border the Chinchipe at various 

 points. 



Speotyto cunicularia punensis Chapman. Five adults, both sexes, 

 Sullana, August. 



This strikingly pale form was lately described from Puna Island; our 

 record slightly extends its range southward. 



The five specimens were all collected at one colony. This colony of 

 about two dozen burrows was situated on the gentle slope of a sandy hill 

 which overlooked the green valley of the Chira River near Sullana. 



Tytonidse. 



Tyto alba contempta (Hartert). Two adults, c" and 9, Bellavistal 

 and Chongollapi, September and October. 



Nyctibiidae. 



Nyctibius griseus cornutus (Vieill.). One adult 9, Perico, September 

 10.
