45 Owl. Tyto novaehollandiae subspecies Australian Barn owl Range.- Australia, Lifu (?) Description.- Darker, larger and with more spotting on the under parts. A different species. Collecting.- An old French collection in Noumea contained a specimen which was supposedly collected on Lifu. This is almost certainly an error. It is, however, worthwhile to look on Lifu for a second species of Barn owls.
