A bird of extreme rarity, of which we have only obtained

 Strix indrani maingayi, M. I, p. 26 (Tung Song, Peninsular Siam.) 



We have six specimens of this rare owl from Trang south- 

 wards to Selangor, all agreeing well with Hume's and Sharpe's 

 descriptions. We cannot agree that both 8. i, newarense and 

 *S'. i. maingayi can occur in tlie same area, and the specimen referred 

 to the former by Sharpe from the the Larut Hills (P. Z. S. 1887, 

 p. 434) must be *Si. i. mai'igayi, as we have a specimen from within 

 a few miles of the locality, which is certainly that race. The female
