Thereis a specimen of the Scops Owl in the Dublin Mu-seum, which (Jide More) was in the collection of thelate Mr. T. W. Warren. This little Owl is said tohave nested near Oykel, Sutherlandshire (St. John,Tour in Sutherland, vol. i. p. 122), and in CastleEden Dene (Hogg, History of Stockton-on-Tees,Appendix, p. 14, and Zool., 1845, p. 1054), butin neither case were the birds properly identified.As to the first mentioned, there can be little doubt,from the description of the nest, that the specieswas the Short-eared Owl.
