Adult examples of the Malayan Fish-Owl with the spotting on the upper- 
parts nearly obsolete have only three light bufFbars on the middle tail-feathers, 
while in the more spotted immature birds there are five caudal bands. Iris 
orange, bill bluish-horn, feet dull yellow. 
‘ Very common in similar situations to Syrnuim seloputo r roosting during 
the day in the durian and mangosteen trees. The stomach of one bird which 
I examined contained a large rat and several small fish and crustaceans.
