far from Famagusta ; Glaszner sent three males to Madarasz 

 from the Troodos range, two taken on February 20th, and 

 the third on September 29th, 1902. Miss Bate states that 

 this species evidently arrives in the island about the end of 

 October, as she first saw it at that time both in 1901 and 1902 ; 

 she found it not at all uncommon in winter on the lower slopes 

 of the nortliern mountains, met with it also in the Larnaca 

 district, and once near Papho on the 23rd of March, the 

 latest spring date on which it was observed by her. 



I do not feel justified in adding to the above any confident 

 remark, except that Mr. Baxendale, Horsbrugh, and I 

 consider that we have obtained specimens in April of this 

 year. 



63. Saxicola iSABELLiNA Riipp. 



Tlie Isabelline Wheatear is another Chat which so far 

 a])pears to be a visitor on the spring and autumn migrations. 



Lord Lilford regarded it as very local, but not uncommon 

 in March and April in the Famagusta district, and he and 

 his collectors obtained specimens. Miiller records four — 

 adults of both sexes — taken in spring, and Glaszner sent one 

 male to Madarasz, captured near Larnaca on August the 14th, 

 1901. I am not able, at present, to add to the foregoing 

 records any observations which I should care to be regarded 

 as undoubtedly correct. 



66. Pratincola rubetra (Linn.). 



The Whinchat appears to be a visitor on its spring and 

 autumn migrations, and to be not at all common. Lord 

 Lilford did not sec it, but Guillemard obtained two males in 

 April and May 1887, in the nortliern hills at Akanthou and 

 near Larnaca respectively ; Glaszner sent a young bird to 

 Madarasz, taken near the latter place on September the 23rd, 

 1901, and Mr. Baxendale sent me a male shot at Papho on 

 the 2nd of April, 1909. 



69. PRATtNCOLA RUBICOLA (Liun.). 



The Stonechat appears to be a tolerably abundant winter 

 visitor. Lord Lilford found it not uncommon in the open
