SOOTY OWL. 
The smallest race, showing large white spottings. I do not know this 
race, which appears confined to the Arfak Peninsula, but the description 
prohibits the acceptance of the name for the New Guinea birds that live a 
thousand miles away. I have not seen any record from Dutch New Guinea 
intervening.
