“Tris chrome or lemon, bill horn, cere olive green, 
feet pale chrome, ciaws greyish horn.” 
Examination of the fairly considerable series of Hawk 
Owls in the Federated Malay States Museums show that they 
are readily divisible into two series: 
(a). A larger form with darker, duller upper surface, the 
head somewhat greyer than the rest of the upper parts. the 
white stripes on the under surface more conspicuous. The 
specimens are dated from October to March and therefore the 
race is probably only a winter visitor in the Malay Peninsula.= 
Ninox scutulata scutulata (Raffles). 
(0). A smaller form with browner upper surface and no 
distinguishable cap; white stripes on the undersurface less 
conspicuous. Specimens dated from March to August and 
therefore, as Hartert surmises, probably a resident form= Ninox 
scutulata malaccensis (Eyton).
