 p. 455 : Caspian Sea. 



The Sbort-eared Owl has bitberto only been recorded 

 from Bangkok. Wbether tbis Bangkok specimen belongs 

 to tbe paler race inbabiting western Siberia and migrating to 

 Assam and Japan, it is impossible to state at present, as 

 I have been nnable to examine the specimen. The Siberian 

 race ought to be known under tbe name of Asio accipitrhnis 

 leucopsis Brebm, and is considerably paler, especially as 

 concerns the colour of the u{)per parts, which generally are 

 yellow isb creamy. The lower parts are almost pure wbite, 

 instead of buft'as in the typical form.
