AYES. 
Of the Chinese birds sent, those to he returned are distinguished 
by a cross (f) prefixed to their names. 
+Lithofalco jesalon. Old female. Amoy. 
Scops lempiji, (Horsfield). Wing 6f in. Tail 4]- in. Fowchow. 
fSc. bakkaikena, (Pennant). Wing 6 in. Tail 2f in. Grey 
specimen. 
Athene cuchloides, (Vigors). Wing 6i in. Tail 4 in. Fow- 
chow. 
Ninox scutellattjs, (Raffles). Wing 85 in Tail 5 in. Fowchow. 
(The four Owls here noticed are, all of them, of rather unusual 
size, and with strongly contrasted colouring ; but are not to be justly 
separated as species, if even as races. A specimen of Athene cccit- 
loides from Chusan is also of the same large size.) 
Pious cabanisi, Maleherbe. 
+Cttcui/its STRIATUS, Drapiez. 
fC. nisicolor, Hodgson. Before received from Macao. 
Capeimuegtts ditiscivoehs, Swinhoe. The supposed variety of C. 
indicus, with wings 85 in. long, noticed in J. A. S. XIV, 208, and 
there mentioned as “ probably not Indian, but from the eastward.” 
It was doubtless with other specimens from the dispersed Macao 
museum. The small race from the Nilgiris (and also the more elevat- 
ed regions of Ceylon) noticed in the note, loc. cit., I have since named 
C. KELAAETI. 
+C. n. s. “ River Night-jar.” A very beautiful species akin 
to C. monticoetjs, Franklin, of India, and C. aefinis, Horsfield, of 
Java. 
Acanthylis catjdacijta, (Latham) : Chcetura nudipes, Hodgson. 
Accords with Gould’s figure in the ‘ Birds of Australia’ in having a 
white forehead, but is otherwise undistinguishable from Himalayan 
examples. 
Cypselus subfubcaths, nobis (Horsfiekl’s Catalogue) ; C. ajji- 
nis (?) apudnos, J. A. S. XXIX, 95.
