Moyer. Due { my Long-eared Owl) to a very good figure of my Short-eared Owl, in the 29th 
plate of the PI. Enl. under the very title of Moyen Due, ou Hibou? without even having eyes 
to difiinguifh between that and his own excellent figure of the Hibou , in tab. XXIII. of his 
Ornitbclogie, et ce qui proudse aujji /on peu de connoi£'ance et d' exactitude f e'efi d'a’voir egaletwnt

from fpeci s. or even genus from genus / otherwife it would have been impoflible for him to have 
millaken an elegant Falcon for a grotefque Owl ; or how could he avoid feeing, that the two 
figures L had given, in the great edition of the Br. Zool. Mere not of the fame bird, notwith- 
ftanding one was lefier than the other, which vyas occafioned by its being placed in the fame 
plate with another? If they are badly executed, atonement is made by better in the ouarto 
and o&avo, or the fourth editions. If the public (for wafting fo much time on fo ridiculous 
a fubjedl) call us a brace of owls, I freely refign to my noble antagonilt the fuperior title of 
Le grand Due ; for an uncandid critic, by an eafy transition, 
Fcedaque fit volucris, venturi nuncia luflus, 
Ignavus Btjbo, dirumque authoribus omen.
