‘Europeans have given this bird the appellation of Brahminy 
Kite; which originates in having observed that the Hindoos attach 
superstitious ideas to it. Among the Mahommedans there is a preva- 
lent notion that when two armies are about to engage, the appearance 
of one of these birds over either party prognosticates victory to that 
side.”” (Pearson.)

JuNGLEE CHooGup of the Hindoos (Jerdon). 
A single specimen of this pretty little owl was obtained at Keddah 
(Malayan Peninsula), agreeing in every respect with those obtained 
from India. This is, I believe, the first indication of its having 
been found in the Malayan Peninsula.
