Capture op the Great Gray Owl in Massachusetts. — Under 
date of Feb. 25, 1882, Mr. Robert O. Morris, of Springfield, writes me 
that “ a Great Gray Owl ( Syrnium cinereum) was captured in Agawam 
last week, the skin of which has been preserved.” A later letter, in reply 
o a request for further information, states that the capture was made by 
Mr. E. A. Kellogg, on February 21, and that Mr, Kellogg’s attention was 
attracted to the bird by a number of Crows circling around a pine tree on 
a branch of which the Owl was sitting. Length of the specimen, 28 
inches; extent, 60 inches ; tail, 13. 
Only two specimens have been recorded as positively known to have 
been taken in this State in the last forty years, but there are several earlier 
records. — J. A. Allen, Cambridge., Mass. ^

Addition to the Bristol County List. 
A gentleman residing at Taunton, Mass. , shot 
in the outskirts of the city an Owl, which 
from his description conforms exactly to that 
of the Great Gray Ow l (Ulula cinerea.) in 
size, shape and coloration. It is impossible to 
mistake the Great Gray for the Barred or Great 
Horned Owl, as this gentleman has shot a num- 
i ber of each of the last two. Unfortunately 
! the owl was not considered rare and he did 
j not have it preserved. John C. Gaboon.
