Mr. Oscar Neumann exhibited a specimen of the true 

 Otus abyssinicus, Guer., the first specimen of this Owl ever 

 seen in England. It fitted well the description and plate 

 given in the work of Ferret and Galinier. The type of this 

 species had never reached the Paris Museum, and its present 

 existence was not known, but two other specimens of this bird, 

 obtained by Heuglin, were in the Vienna Museum. This
