592 ^Ir. J. A. Bucknill on the 



Larnaca and on tlie Troodos range : oue in jMarch, one in 

 October, and two in September. Horsbrugh and 1 did not find 

 the bird very common this spring (1909), but we noticed it 

 and obtained specimens from the 13th to the 21st March; 

 whilst Mr. Baxendale and Horsbrugh took a male at Papho 

 as late as May the 21st. It appears to be a spring and 

 autumn visitor, and I see no reason why it should not nest 

 occasionally in the hills. 



84. RUTICILLA TITYS (Scop.). 



The Black Redstart appears to be only a winter visitor 

 and fairly abundant, arriving at the beginning of November 

 and leaving towards the end of March. 



Pearse sent Lord Lilford two females taken on November 

 the 21st, 1878 ; Guillemard obtained specimens on March the 

 11 til, 1887, and January the 4th, 1888, near Larnaca and 

 Limassol, at the latter locality finding the species '' not 

 uncommon/' Glaszner sent a number to Madarasz from 

 various localities taken in November, January, and February. 

 Horsbrugh and I observed several this spring near Nicosia 

 on March the 18th. 



93. Cyanecula woLFi C. L. Brehm. 



The White-spotted Bluethroat appears to be a spring 

 and autumn migrant, though it is possible that it may be a 

 winter visitor. It has seldom been recorded. Guillemard 

 found some, and shot an adult male amongst the reeds at the 

 freshwater lake near Faraagusta on February the 13th, 1888. 

 Glaszner sent Madarasz four — two males and two females — 

 taken near Larnaca in October 1901. 



95. Erithacus rubecula (Linn.). 



The Redbreast is a common winter visitor, arriving 

 towards the end of October and leaving towards the end of 

 March, my earliest record of its arrival being October the 25th 

 and my latest o£ its departure March the 21st. It is well 

 distributed over the island and a good many individuals 

 can always be found in the larger gardens near the towns, 

 whilst on the hills it is sometimes observed in great abundance.
