  Mr.

  on 
  the 
  

  

  167. 
  NiNOX 
  SCUTULATA. 
  

  

  An 
  example 
  shot 
  on 
  the 
  15th 
  of 
  April 
  had 
  its 
  stomach 
  full 
  

   of 
  the 
  remains 
  of 
  small 
  beetles. 
  

  

  168. 
  Scops 
  semitorques. 
  

  

  Au 
  example 
  from 
  Tsu-sima 
  makes 
  an 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  

   birds 
  found 
  on 
  that 
  island. 
  

  

  171. 
  Scops 
  pryeri. 
  

  

  This 
  well-marked 
  species 
  has 
  hitherto 
  only 
  been 
  known 
  

   from 
  two 
  examples, 
  an 
  adult 
  in 
  the 
  Norwich 
  Museum, 
  and 
  

   an 
  immature 
  example 
  in 
  my 
  own 
  collection; 
  it 
  is 
  conse- 
  

   quently 
  very 
  satisfactory 
  to 
  receive 
  an 
  adult 
  male 
  shot 
  on 
  

   the 
  30th 
  of 
  April. 
  The 
  irides 
  are 
  described 
  as 
  amber- 
  

   coloured, 
  veined 
  nearest 
  to 
  the 
  blue 
  pupil 
  with 
  streaks 
  of 
  

   light 
  yellowish 
  green. 
  The 
  bill 
  is 
  described 
  as 
  greenish 
  

   yellow. 
  This 
  species 
  very 
  closely 
  resembles 
  Scops 
  semi- 
  

   torques, 
  but 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  longer 
  tarsus 
  and 
  a 
  larger 
  foot, 
  and 
  the 
  

   feathering 
  only 
  reaches 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  toes.

  A 
  female 
  shot 
  on 
  the 
  1 
  9th 
  of 
  April 
  had

   and 
  yellowish-green 
  feet, 
  with 
  black 
  claws. 
  Bill

   a

  except 
  

   the
