A single example o£ a Wood-Owl, sexed a male by the 

 collector, obtained on 10 October, 1918, in a forest on the 

 border of Hupeh and Hunan, alt. 4500 ft. (Changlo Hsien) 

 resembles the Himalayan Wood-Owl S. nivicola, but differs 

 from it in being throu<jhout much darker, and in having the 

 barring of the underparts very dark, sharply defined, and 

 narrow. W^ing 289 mm. 



There are in the British Museum two Wood-Owls which 

 are not unlike the Hupeh bird : one from Formosa, collected 

 by Dr. Moltrccht in March 1908, and another from Yunnan 

 (Styan collection). An example of a Wood-Owl, shot by 

 Swinhoe near Peking, is also in the Museum, but this is a 

 very grey bird belonging to another form.
