followed the majority of recent authors in keeping them 
distinct, though we have not seen adult specimens from Java. 
The wing measurement of the three female Sumatran 
specimens ranges from 330-357 mm.

“Male, iris yellow, bill pinkish horn, yellowish horn at 
tip, feet whitish; female, iris chrome, bill bluish horn, 
yellowish at tip, pinkish at gape, feet pinkish.” 
Only the four above listed specimens were obtained by 
our Dyaks who describe it as a silent and sluggish bird, sitting 
hunched up on branches near the main trunk. The hooting 
of owls was heard on several nights at Sungei Kumbang, the 
note resembling that of P. hantu, by which species it was 
probably uttered. 
Allowing for the very great individual variation always 
present in this group of owls, the series listed above agrees 
sufficiently well with Hartert’s description (Joc. cit.). The 
occipital spot, nuchal and post cervical band are only fully 
developed in one male specimen and the latter varies much in 
distinctness. The tarsi are feathered to the origin of the toes, 
which are naked. 
The species seems to be closely allied to Scops brookit, 
Sharpe, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, i, p. iv (1893), id. Ibis, 1893, 
pp i177, 417, Pl. XI (1893). 
From the figure of this species our series appear to differ 
in the less ferruginous upper surface, more heavily marked 
with black, the cheeks pale rufous and the cervical collar 
tinged with buff, not white. 
The wing of the type specimen of S. solokensis, a male, was 
6.7 in. (170 mm.), the three males in our series 167-171 mm., 
and the female 180, while the wing of the type of S. brookit, 
which was unsexed, was 6.65 in. (168 mm.)
