TENGMALM’S OWL. 
Noctua Tmgmalmi. 
Tengmalm’s Owl being a little Owl, is therefore included in 
most Shetland catalogues as the little Owl. I found the re- 
mains of Noctua Tengmalmi lying in a fisherman’s garden, and 
have several times observed solitary birds of the same species 
about Halligarth. I am perfectly well acquainted with both 
species in a living state. 
In concluding my list of Owls, I may here remark that there 
is as yet no evidence to prove that either Strix aluco, S. 
Jiammea, Noctua passer ina^ or Sco^s Aldrovandi has ever 
occurred in the Shetland islands.
