* According to the late Prince of Canino, “ Bubo nipalensis, Hodgson, 
est une espece a ajouter au genre Huhua : elle est le double d’ orientalis, 
Horsfield ( strepitans, Temminck), avec laquelle on Pa confondu ” (Comptes 
Rendus, xli. (1855) p. 655). Mr. Cassin unites Strix orientalis and Bubo 
nipalensis, but regards H. pectoralis as distinct.
