ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTE. 



Little Owls in Yorkshire. — In November last year, 1884, one of these 

 pretty little birds was taken alive on board a fishing-boat just off Scarborough, and 

 brought to a preserver in the town, who has set it up veiy well, and it will be 

 added to my collection. About six weeks after, one of the same species was taken 

 in a trap at Seamer, about four miles from Scarborough ; this bird was also brought 

 alive to Mr. Roberts to preserve, and is a good specimen. Though the Little Owl 

 has been recorded before in the county, none are authenticated as to date and 

 place. This notice of their occurrence will, I feel sure, interest the readers of the 

 Naturalist, — ^J. Whitaker, Rainworth Lodge, Notts., August 1885.
