THESE Owls are said to breed in holes of trees, half way up, and, 

 as being deficient in such, an ' exhibition of industry/ to make no 

 manner of nest, or only to use a little grass for the purpose. 



The eggs are white, and two in number. 



The specimen from which the original drawing, by William Richard 

 Fisher, Esq., was taken, is in the collection of H. F. Walter, Esq., of 

 Russell Square, to whom this work is very greatly indebted.
