green at base of lower mandible, feet Payne's grey." H.C.R. 

 &C.B.K. 



This bird is quite immature and has the head earthy 

 brown, uniform with the mantle. From the relative lengths of 

 the tarsi and toes it would appear to be referable to this species 

 and not to Limnohaenus paykulli, from which it is somewhat 

 difficult to distinguish young birds.

 be successful.

This owl, whose soft hoot was heard on two or three 

 nights, appears to be commoner in the northern half of the 

 Peninsula than in the south, where very few specimens have 

 been obtained.
