Duenas, September 2nd, 1859. This bird I shot in a willow- 
tree near the lake. It was alone, and the only one I have seen. 
Don Vicente Constancia has another skin of the same species. 
29. Bubo virginianus (Gm.). 
Duenas, August 18tli, 1859, and San Geronimo. This Eagle- 
Owl is a resident species at Duenas, and I believe throughout 
the whole country. It is not uncommon: a favourite locality 
near the former village being one of the hill-sides, which is in 
most parts well covered with low trees and shrubs, and here and 
there a rocky precipice. I have met with the bird not unfre- 
quently during the afternoon. At all hours of the night they 
make their proximity known by their deep cry.

Volcan de Puego, August. This is perhaps the commonest 
Ortycc found in the Volcan de Puego. The ravines of this 
Volcano are localities very favoured by several species of the 
group. It is not often, however, that they are to be found 
actually at the bottom of the hollow, where the increasing 
shadow and height of the overhanging trees render the under¬ 
growth of vegetation comparatively scanty, but most frequently 
near the top of either side, in places where a fallen tree or a slip 
of soil has laid bare a sunny spot. Such situations are sought 
for by these birds to bask and sleep in, like Partridges in a 
warm hedge-side. They are, however, true forest-birds, and are 
usually met with in small flocks of six or eight, probably the 
brood of the season.
