Spiloglaux ocellata (Bp.). San Cristobal Owl. 
Athene ocellata Bonaparte, Consp. Gen. Av. vol. i. p. 42, June, 
1850: Occania=San Cristobal Island, ex Hombron et 
Jacquinot. MS.; Pucheran, Voy. Pole Sud, Zool. vol. iii. 
p. 51, pi. 3. fig. 2, Oct. 10th, 1853 : Chili. South America, 
error=San Cristobal Island. 
Spiloglaux roseoaxil'laris Hartert, Amer. Mus. Nov. no. 3G4, p. 6, 
July 29th, 1929 : Sail Cristobal Island, Solomon Islands. 
Distr .— San Cristobal Island, Solomon Islands. 
I have compared Hartert ’s bird with the plate of Athene 
ocellata Bp. figured in the Atlas of the P61e Sud, pi. 3. fig. 2, 
and consider it the same species. On this same plate is 
figured Bonaparte’s type of jacquinoti from St. George 
Island^ near Ysabel Island, Solomon Islands. 
Pucheran gave the locality of ocellata as Chili; this was cor¬ 
rected by Bonaparte to Oceania. The measurements of 
this bird as given by Pucheran are larger than those given 
by Hartert:— 
Pucheran, tail 118 mm. Hartert, tail 80 
„ bill 29 „ „ bill 24*4 
„ tarsus 35 „ „ tarsus 32*7 
As ocellata is the only Owl from this locality with a white 
throat, I must use this name, more especially as the bird 
agrees well with the type-plate. Bonaparte’s jacquinoti 
agrees as well with the type-figure on the same plate as 
roseoaxillaris does with the type-figure of ocellata. They 
both came from the Solomon Islands.
