106. AMERICAN LONG-EARED OWL. (Asio americanus). 
An occasional summer resident. A specimen in the Museum 
of the Natural History Society was taken in April, 1878. 
Given by Herrick as “rather common” at Grand Manan. 
107. SHORT-EARED OWL. (Asio aecipitrinus). 
I can learn of but three instances of the occurrence of this 
species in this locality — one in 1880 and two in 1881. The 
two last mentioned specimens are in the collection of the Nat- 
ural History Society. One of them shows the “ochraceus” 
and “ blackish-brown ” coloring, described in the books, but 
the other has a faded appearance, and is of a dirty-white and 
blackish-ash plumage. 
“ Not very common” at Calais (Boardman).
