218 Mr. F. R. S. Baxendale on the 



At the freshwater lake, which I have had many oppor- 

 tunities of visiting, I saw Curlew-Sandpipers up till the 6th 

 of June, and during June and July I noted Common Sand- 

 pipers, Geoffroy's Greater Sand-Plover, Redshanks, Reeves, 

 Gull-billed. Terns, and Slender-billed Gulls, also Green and 

 Wood Sandpipers. I obtained specimens of most of these 

 birds so as to be sure of my identification. 



I noted a single Pelican and a Spoonbill there during 

 June, and in July two Spoonbills frequented the lake until 

 it quite dried up iu the beginning of August. Of course, 

 the usual nesting-birds were to be found there up till that 

 date. 



I was able to visit the Klides Islands again during the 

 spring. A lighthouse, with a revolving light, was erected 

 there in 1913, but it does not seem to have interfered with 

 the nesting-birds. My visit was on the 19th of April, and 

 I found the Lesser Peregrine's eyrie where it has been for 

 the last three years. There were four young birds in it 

 beginning to show feather. 



The Herring-Gulls were nesting as usual, and some of 

 their nests were not more than a hundred yards from the 

 lighthouse. The young Shags had all left their nests and 

 were swimming round the islands with their parents. 



Sailing back to the mainland I noticed a Shearwater, but 

 I was not near enough to make a good identification. I saw 

 a Great White Heron on three occasions flying along the 

 shore within a few miles of the islands. 



Apparently I was a little too early to meet the full swing 

 of the migration along the Karpas promontory. There were, 

 however, a good many Shrikes and Wiieatears of several 

 varieties. I also met with large flocks of Ortolans, which I 

 had only hitherto seen in small parties. 



In the accompanying notes I have used the nomenclature 

 adopted in the ' Hand-list of British Birds ' and Hartert's 

 Vogel pal. Fauna.
