578 Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 



From Guillemard's collections Dresser described the Coal 

 Titmouse as a new species, Parus cyjjriotes [P. Z. S. 1887, 

 p. 563]. 



In July 1889 Lord Lilford published his "^ List o£ the 

 Birds of Cyprus " in ' The Ibis ' of that date. This enu- 

 merated two hundred and thirty-one species and embodied 

 tlie results of the writer's, Pearse's, and Dr. Guillemard's 

 work, besides referring to the list of Unger and Kotschy, 

 to the paper of Herr Muller, and to information derived 

 from various other casual sources. This was the first sys- 

 tematic modern attempt at Cypriote ornithology. 



In 1901 Mr. Ch. Glaszuer, an Austrian subject residing at 

 Larnaca, commenced sending to the Hungarian National 

 Museum consignments of specimens collected by him in the 

 island, and since that date has despatched a considerable 

 number to similar institutions, amongst them being the 

 British Museum and that of Mr. Rothschild at Tring. 



Dr. J. V. Madarasz, from Mr. Glaszner's consignments, 

 separated as distinct several of the species resident in the 

 island : the Scops Owl as Scops cypria and the Great Tit as 

 Parus aphrodite m 1901 (Termes. Fiizetek, xxiv. p. 272) ; the 

 Jay as Garrulus glaszneri in 1902 (Orn. Monatsb. x. p. 163); 

 the Dipper as Cinclus olympicus and the Crossbill as Loxia 

 (juilkmardi in 1903 (Orn. Monatsb. xi. p. 5) ; and the Hooded 

 Crow as Corone pallescens in 190-4 (Orn. Monatsb. xii. p. 28). 

 Glaszner's large consignments were found by Madarasz to 

 include as additions to the list several highly interesting 

 species, notably Monticola saxatilis, Aedon philomela, A'edon 

 familiuris, Sylvia uisoria, Lanius minor, Lunius isabeUimis, 

 Sturnus porphyronotus, Scops giu, Circus cyuneus, Circus 

 ciiieraceus, Buteo vulgaris, Falco suhbutto, Pernis apivorus, 

 Milvus ictinus, and I'rocellaria pdagica, and to confirm the 

 then slender claims of others such as the Dipper, Mistletoe- 

 Thrush, Great Reed-Warbler, Ortolan, Hawfinch, Pied King- 

 fisher, Curlew-Sandpiper, Cormorant, and Common Gull. 



From May 1901 until Nov. 1902, Miss Dorothy M. A. 

 Bate was in the island. She obtained a number of examples 

 of the local Wren and described it in 1903 as a new species
