the under parts; but the head is only dotted with white: the wings 
are brown, croffed on the coverts with fine lines of white: quills 
plain, reaching when clofed to the middle of the tail: the tail itfelf 
is cuneiform and long, each feather crofled with three narrow white 
bands, which do not ena correfpond on each fide the fhaft: legs 
feathered to the toes with dufky and white feathers. 
Inhabits Cayenne, and appears to be a new fpecies; by a label ap- 
plied to the leg of the fpecimen, it was called-Chouette de Four, hence 
it fhould appear ‘to be a bird that takes its prey in the day, which 
fome of the Ow/ tribe are known to do.

IZE of the Long-eared Owl: the bill yellow: the upper parts 
of the head and body, wings and tail, rufous brown, with a few 
fpots of white on the two laft: the under parts from the chin dirty. 
white, tinged more or lefs. with rufous, with a few dufky {pecks, and. 
the feathers of the knees covering the thin almoft to the toes; the 
thins themfelves clothed with fine hairs: above the eye paffes an arch, 
confifting of a feries of loofe white feathers, over the ears on each fide 
of the neck; thefe are longer than the reft, but not capable of being 
erected as in the great and other eared Owls: the tail is fomewhat cu- 
neiform, and the wings when clofed reach to about the middle of it. 
This. fpecies inhabits Guicna, but is not very common in our 
cabinets ; one fpecimen, however, filled a place in the collection: of 
our late friend and correfpondent MZ. C. G. D’orcy, and M. Levaillanz 
mentions two others, one in the collection of AZ, Mauduit, and: 
another in his own.
