Obs. This little Owl is said to have nested near 

 Oykel, Sutheiiandshire (St. John's 'Tour in Suther- 

 land,' vol. i. p. 122), and in Castle Eden Dene (Hogg, 

 4 History of Stockton on Tees,' Appendix, p. 14, and 

 ' Zoologist,' 1845, p. 1054); but in neither case were 

 the birds properly identified. As to the first men-

 of the nest, that the species was the Short-eared Owl.
