  Found 
  on 
  Mount 
  Dulit 
  at 
  5000 
  feet. 
  It 
  must 
  be 
  very 
  

   rare, 
  as 
  only 
  one 
  specimen 
  was 
  seen. 
  

  

  I 
  need 
  not 
  give 
  a 
  detailed 
  description 
  of 
  this 
  new 
  species 
  

   of 
  Scops, 
  for 
  the 
  characters 
  by 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  distinguished 
  are 
  

   very 
  easily 
  stated. 
  It 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  group 
  of 
  S. 
  magicus, 
  

   so 
  far 
  as 
  appearance 
  goes, 
  and 
  is 
  wonderfully 
  like 
  S. 
  bour- 
  

   uensis, 
  Sharpe 
  (Cat. 
  B. 
  ii. 
  p. 
  73), 
  in 
  the 
  colour 
  of 
  the 
  

   under 
  surface 
  ; 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  surface 
  it 
  is 
  quite 
  different, 
  

   being 
  much 
  more 
  rufous, 
  more 
  coarsely 
  mottled 
  with 
  black, 
  

   and 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  S. 
  bouruensis 
  and 
  all 
  its 
  allies 
  in 
  having 
  

   the 
  triple 
  band 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  hind 
  neck 
  ivhite 
  instead 
  of 
  

   ochraceous, 
  the 
  pattern 
  being 
  the 
  usual 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  group, 
  

   viz., 
  a 
  white 
  occipital 
  spot 
  ; 
  a 
  second, 
  larger 
  one, 
  on 
  the 
  

   nape 
  ; 
  and 
  a 
  third 
  on 
  the 
  hind 
  neck, 
  forming 
  a 
  broad 
  cervical 
  

   collar. 
  The 
  broad 
  band 
  on 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  crown, 
  extending 
  

   to 
  the 
  ear-tufts, 
  is 
  also 
  white. 
  Another 
  peculiarity 
  of 
  the 
  

   species 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  tibial 
  joint, 
  which 
  has 
  a 
  large 
  patch 
  of 
  

   chestnut 
  barred 
  with 
  black. 
  

  

  I 
  may 
  add 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  compared 
  the 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  

   Owl 
  with 
  examples 
  of 
  Scops 
  everetti, 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  nearest 
  

   species 
  in 
  geographical 
  position 
  to 
  which 
  it 
  could 
  be 
  allied, 
  

   and 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  connection 
  between 
  them.
