Gtaucdium hrodiei (Burton) ; Sharpe, tom. cit., p. 212. 



A female, .precisely agreeing with specimens from the hills of

HeteroBcops vulpes, Ogilvie Grant, Bull. B.O.C., xix., p. 11 (1906) ; 

 Id. Journ. Fed. Malay States Mus., iii., p. 51, pi. iii (1908). 



An adult female from 3,500 feet on Kao Nawng. 



Compared with four skins from Selangor and Perak this specimen 

 is much more uniform foxy brown above with the black markings much 

 reduced in amount. Below, it is paler in tint, vinaceous brown vnih 

 the middle of the abdomen and the under tail-coverts ahnost pure 

 white. The differences are quite striking but in so very variable a 

 group as the scops owls it is not advisable to describe a new species 

 on a single individual only.

Quite common in those parts of Bandon visited by us wherever 

 running water and jungle occur but most abundant on the lower 

 slopes of the mountains. The birds are very shy and restless, never 

 staying long in one place, but we procured four specimens, two males 

 and two females, near the lower camp on Kao Nawng.
