In regard to the remarks, 
“Experience with Screech Qwjp .” I wish to say that I put 
j three of them in a cage over night, and the next morning I 
j found the weakest of the three killed and more than half 
! eaten by his companions.— If. W. Worthington.

402. Little Screech Owl. Common in the 
winter. Lives on mice and small birds, and a 
farmer once told me that he caught one in his 
dove-cot which had killed a dove and eaten its 
head off.

Mottled Owl. — In examining a hollow 
tree occupied by one of these birds, (proba- 
bly a male,) I found the headless bodies of 
a Robin and a Kingbird, which proves 
that it is not so harmless quite as repre- 
sented. 
(These birds must have been caught in the night when 
off their guard.— E d ; )
