 distinguished from that species by its rufescent under surface, 

 with the absence of white bars. 



13. t Scops fuliginosa, sp. n. ^~^ 

 S. similis S. umbratiU, sed multo minor et omnino saturate 



brunnea, modo Scopino vermiculata et notata, sed re- 

 gione auriculari rufo-brunnea concolore, et fasciis fron- 

 talibus et cervicalibus pallidis obsoletis. 

 The above diagnosis well expresses the relations of this 



dark-coloured Scops Owl, which is more dingy in colour than 



any species I know.
