51. SYRNUIM NEBULOSUM, (Forst.} Gr. 

 (BARRED OWL) 



Either this species or Syrnium lapponicum var. cinereum 

 is common late in the fall, perhaps both. The inhabitants 

 state that immense grayish-looking Owls were abundant at 

 times. I was unable to find either species. 



52. NYCTEA NIKEA, (Daud.} Gr. 

 (SNOWY OWL.) 



A very common spring and autumn visitor. I saw one 

 on Byron Island, August i, and two or three afterwards. 

 The inhabitants state that they are found on the beaches in 

 large numbers late in the fall. 



53. SURNIA ULULA var. HUDSONICA, (Cm.} Ridge. 

 (HAWK OWL.) 



A common species. One specimen observed July 28, 

 another taken August 5, and a fine adult male August 23. 

 All were taken during the daytime. 



Breeds.
