23. Ninox Qoldii. 



J. H. Gurney, Ibis (5) Vol. 1, p. 170—172. 



N. terricolor of Ramsay appears to bear a great resemblance 

 in coloration to the present sp., except as regards the tail, all the 

 rectrices of which would seem, by bis account, to be crossbarred, 

 and not the lateral ones only, the interspaces belüg „white at the 

 base", like those on the inner webs of the quill-feathers of the 

 wing. At the same time, though the birds I have described differ 

 from N. terricolor in these particulars, one specimen has a tail more 

 approaching the description of the tail in that sp. than is the case 

 in the other specimen. 



Hab.: South-eastern New Guinea.
