Collection of the British Museum. London: 1875, 8vo, pp. 325, 
14 pis. * 
In this volume, the author gives a catalogue of the species of Owls at 
present known, drawn out in the same form as his previous volume on 
the -4 cc^^^^res ; each species is described, and its range and synonyms 
given, as well as a list of the specimens contained in the British Museum. 
At the commencement, a scheme of classification is drawn out, and the 
characters of the families, subfamilies, and genera given in the form of 
tabular “ keys.” A good index makes the work easy for reference, 
and the 14 plates, on which 21 specjes are figured, add much to its 
completeness.

The author holds that no type-species had been assigned to the Lin- 
ngean genus Strix, until Savigny, in 1809, recast the genera of Owls and 
fixed upon Strix jiammea as the type — Strix aluco of Linnaeus being the 
type of Savigny’s genus Syrnium. [But see Prof. Newton on this subject.
