of the freshly moulted bird in its winter-quarters,, and 

 therefore ia a stage not seen in European examples. 



Mr. Henry Seebohm described a new species of Eagle-Owl 

 from Sidemi, in the Ussuri country^ E. Siberia. The type 

 specimen had been obtained by Kalinowski, and presented by 

 the Warsaw Museum to the British Museum, where it had 

 hitherto been identified with Bubo blakistoni. ■Mr. Seebohm 

 proposed to call it 



Bubo doerriesi^ sp. n. 

 Similis B. blakistoni, sed plaga nuchali alba magna facile 

 distinguendus. Long. tot. 25 poll,^ alas 20"5, tarsi 2>"Z. 



A second specimen had been procured by Mr. Doerries 

 near Yladivostock, and five specimens were now known^ all 

 of them agreeing in the possession of a white nape-spot. It 

 would seem that B. doerriesi also had a nearly white tail when 

 fully adult.
