The Short-eared Owl at Ponapé closely resembles _A. f. flammeus_ but is slightly smaller and darker. Apparently the owl came to Ponapé as a straggler on migration from Asia, and becoming acclimated and adapted to the grassy areas at Ponapé remained as a resident. The occurrence of _A. f. flammeus_ in the Marianas on migration offers evidence as to how the bird originally reached Ponapé. =Caprimulgus indicus jotaka= Temminck and Schlegel Jungle Nightjar _Caprimulgus jotaka_ Temminck and Schlegel, in Siebold's Fauna Japonica, Aves, 1847, p. 37, pl. 12, 13.

Winters south to tropics. In Micronesia: Palau Islands--exact locality unknown. _Remarks._--According to the committee who prepared the Hand-list of Japanese Birds (Hachisuka _et al._, 1942:199), one female was obtained by Oba in the Palaus in November, 1930. The skin was placed in the Kuroda collection. Coultas obtained a male on December 9, 1931, in the Palaus, which is in the American Museum of Natural History. The bird is apparently an occasional migrant to western Micronesia. =Caprimulgus indicus phalaena= Hartlaub and Finsch Jungle Nightjar _Caprimulgus phalaena_ Hartlaub and Finsch, Proc. Zool. Soc.
