Great Gray Owl in Rhode Island.— A very fine specimen of this 
species ( Syrnium cinereum) was killed at Wickford, R. I., March 25, 1S83. 
Mr. Gray, in our employ, heard of it and succeeded in pul chasing it. 
We had a Horned Owl to mount the same day, and also a Barred Owl. 
The body of the Great Gray Owl was less than half the size of the 
Horned Owl’s, and but little larger than that of the Barred Owl, though 
the bird itself exceeds the Great Horned in size. The eye is very small, 
and the breast feathers extremely long. Taken all in all, it is the most 
bird for the least substance we ever examined.— F red. T. Jencks, Provi- 
dence, R. /• Buli N| 0f 0| Q t July. 1883, P, /V3. 
Great Gray Owl ( Scotiaptex nebulosa ) in Rhode Island. — Through 
the kindness of Messrs. Angell and Cash, taxidermists, Providence, R. I., 
I am enabled to quote the capture of a third specimen for the State. This 
bird was shot within a mile of the city limits of Providence, on Nov. 19, 
1906, and proved to be a male. The two previous records are given in 
‘Birds of Rhode Island/ Howe and Sturtevant, 1899, p. 62, one speci- 
men taken in 1870 and the other March 25, 1883.— Rttthven Deane, 
Chicago, III. Ank, 24, Apr. , 1907, p. 2. >
