Ur. Bowdler Sharpe exhibited a specimen of the rare 
Bubo letti, Biittik., from the Rio Benito, French Congo, 
obtained by Mr. G. L. Bates. The species had been originally 
described by Ur. Biittikofer from Liberia, and was placed 
by him in the genus Bubo. The specimen, however, had 
been examined by Mr. Pycraft for its pterylography, and 
Ur. Sharpe, judging by its external characters, concurred 
with him that it belonged to the genus Scops, and should 
be known as Scops letti (Biittik.).
