THE EAGLE-OWL. Bubo ignavus, T. P'orster. From time to time examples of this large and handsome species have been recorded in Great Britain ; but some of these individuals are known to have escaped from that semi-captivity in which they are often kept, while suspicion attaches to others. Birds which were probably genuine migrants from Northern Europe have, however, been obtained, at long intervals, in the Orkney and Shetland Islands, and also on the mainland of Scotland; while in England a female which showed no sign of having been in con- finement was shot near Stamford in Lincolnshire, in April 1879. Mr. Cordeaux records an individual seen near Easington, Holder- ness, in the winter of 1879-1880, as well as another noticed several times in October 1888, and no more likely district for a wanderer from Scandinavia can be imagined. There is no evidence that the Eagle-Owl has ever visited Ireland; but in the Science and Art
