Zomba, July and Jan. Mr. Whyte has now sent four 

 examples of this Eagle-Owl, every one of them differing in 

 plumage from dark grey to tawny buff in general tint. 

 Even the grey phase, as illustrated by this series, has in some 

 cases a more or less rufous tinge ; and at present there is no 

 evidence of the existence of absolute grey or rufous phases 

 in this species.

 mature.
