Dr. Bowdler Sharpe exhibited a specimen of the rare 

 Bubo letti, Buttik., from the Rio Benito, French Congo, 

 obtained by Mr. G. L. Bates. The species had been originally 

 described by Dr. Biittikofer from Liberia, and was placed 

 by him in the genus Bubo. The specimen, however, had 

 been examined by Mr. Pycraft for its pterylography, and 

 Dr. Sharpe, judging by its external characters, concurred 

 with him that it belonged to the genus Scops, and should 

 be known as Scops letti (Buttik.).
