128 BIRDS FROM PERAK. 
Limnaetus caligatus, Hume, Str. F. 1879, p. 44; Kelham, 
Ibis, 1881, p. 366; Salvad. Ann. Mus. Civic. Genov. xiv, 
172—(1879). 
‘No. 19. On opening my window early one morning I| saw. 
one of these hawk-eagles sitting with crest erected on a stump 
of a tree, only about thirty yards from the house, and brought 
it down with a shot from my revolver. A second specimen 
was shot by my collector while perched on a branch of a tree 
quite near the ground, but was never found, as in searching 
for it the man got bitten on the leg by a snake (7rimeresurus 
gramineus), and gave up the search. These were the only 
two birds seen of this species.”” (Not sent.)

‘No. 64. @. Irides bright yellow. I only saw one pair of 
these birds, one of which I was fortunate enough to be able 
to shoot.” 
The specimen sent is very dark and almost as deeply 
coloured as typical Javan birds, certainly exceeding that 
of Malaccan specimens. The feathers on the hind neck 
and mantle are edged with sandy rufous. Wing 14.5 inches. 
Glaucidium brodiet, (Burt.); Sharpe, Cat. B. 1, p. 212 
(1875). 
“No. 57. 6. Irides yellow. Only one specimen of this 
pygmy owlet was seen.” 
Syrnium newarense (Hodgs.); Sharpe, Cat. B. i, p. 281 
(1875). 
‘No. 65. 9. Irides yellow. I found this owl seated on a 
branch of a small tree in a very dark ravine, and it was some 
time before I could decide whether it was a bird or some dead 
leaves.” 
This specimen is rather small, but there can scarcely be any 
question about its being identical with S. xewarense and not 
with S.. Maingayz, which is the yellow-faced form found in the 
Malay Peninsula (cf. Hume, Str. F. vi, p: 27)> “Aseaeme 
S. Maingayt and S. indranee have perfectly uniform faces of 
a deep ochreous colour, but one specimen (?) from Coonoor 
has the face dusky and barred with blackish, exactly as in 
S. newarense, and therefore it shows either that the S. xewa-
