. Cuvier's animal kingdom : arranged according to its organization. Animals. 174 AVES.. KIr. si.—Sternum of Bn HowLETs {Ulula, Cuv.)— To the species which have the beak and ear of the Hiboux, [the latter, however, less developed (see fig. 83)], but not the tufts. They are to be found in the north of both continents : for example, The Cinereous Howlet (Str. lapponica, Gm.).—Ahnost as large as our Bubow. It inhabits the mountains of the north of Sweden, [and Arctic America]. The Barred Howlet (Str. nebulosa, Gm.).—[A common bird of North America, very rare in Europe.] The Restricted Owls {Strix, Savigny)— Have ears as large as in the Hiboux [but of a very different form], and furnished with a still larger operculum ; but their elongated beak is only bent towards the end, while in all the other subgenera it curves from the point. They have no head-tufts ; their tarsi are feathered [and rather long], but they have hairs only upon the toes : [their middle claw is obtusely serrated : their sternum (fig. 81), shorter than in the others, has its inner notch very slight, and often obliterated.] The mask, formed by the fringed feathers that surround the eyes, is greatly extended, which renders their physiognomy more extraordinary than that of any other night-bird. The species common in France, The Barn Owl (Strix flammea, Lin., fig. 82), appears to be diffused over the whole globe, [or rather, there are numerous species more or less distinguish- able]. It builds in steeples, towers, &c. [and in places distant from the abode of Man, where no hollow trees occur, in the burrows of quadrupeds. When nestling in pigeon-houses, it offers no molestation to the other inhabitants. Its manner of propagation is remarkable ; as it produces three or four suc- cessive broods, two or more of which, of different ages, commonly occur in the same nest : the young remaining much longer in the nest than those be- longing to the other divisions, from which they differ in developing a
