I have had a great lot of Snow $wls sent in — racist of them in 
November. Never had owls before, and a warm winter.—

Further Notes upon the Snowy Owl 
Taken at Gloucester, on Nov. io. 
Since the record of the capture of a Snowy 
Owl at Gloucester on Nov. 10, which appeared 
in the last number of the Ornithologist and 
Oologist, it lias .been reported that the speci- 
men in question was an escaped bird which 
was captured in Iceland and brought to this 
port upon the halibut schooner, Arthur D. 
Story, Captain Joseph Ryan. 
This schooner returned from the coast of 
Iceland about the middle of September, and if 
the' report be authentic it is puzzling how. so 
large a bird as the owl in question eluded ob- 
servation for so long a time. 
I have examined the specimen after it was 
mounted, and find the tail feathers are some- 
|-| what soiled and worn, as would be expected of 
a caged bird, but otherwise the plumage was 
in perfect condition. 
The stomach contained the fur and parts of 
the skeleton of our common meadow mouse, 
hjh Harry Gordon White.
