Obs. Some remarks by the late Mr. John WoUey, 

 on the nesting of this bird in Lapland, will be found 

 in the ' Zoologist,' 1857, p. 5838, and Newton's ' Oo- 

 theca WoUeyana,' part i. p. 165. 



While these pages were passing through the press, 

 the publication, in parts, of a fourth edition of Yar- 

 rell's ' History of British Birds ' had commenced, under 

 the editorship of Professor Newton. In parts ii. and 

 iii, of that work (pp. 146-198) will be found an 

 admirable history of every species of Owl which has 

 occurred in Great Britain to the present time. 



The account given of each is so full, while at the 

 same time the changes which are proposed in the 

 nomenclature are so important, that without refer- 

 ence to this portion of the work the foregoing remarks 

 upon Owls would be incomplete.
