594 Mr. J. A. Buckiiill on the 



Althougli, of course, easily confused with D. luscinia, and 

 more easily overlooked, I can only say that of the dozen or 

 so specimens of Nightingales which I have handled in Cyprus 

 none belonged to the Eastern species. But it is evidently, 

 at any rate, a migrant in spring and autumn. One of the 

 specimens sent to Aladarasz was an extremely dark variety. 



109. Sylvia nisoria (Bechst.). 



The Barred Warbler is another of Glaszner's discoveries, 

 he having sent two young (male and female) specimens to 

 Madarasz. They were in autumn plumage, and were taken 

 on August 28th and September 12th. 



110. Sylvia cinerea Lath. 



The Whitethroat is a visitor on migration, arriving towards 

 the end of March and passing on by the end of April. A few 

 pairs remain and breed in the hiiis. The return passage takes 

 place about October. It was taken by Sibthorp on April 4th, 

 having alighted on his vessel ; Lord Lilford obtained a female 

 near Larnaca on April the 21st, 1875; Guilleraard two females 

 in the Famagusta district on March the 26th, 1888 ; Glaszner 

 sent Madarasz a specimen taken near Larnaca on October the 

 13th, 1901. Mr. Baxendale, Ilorsbrugh, and I found the 

 AVhitethroat not uncommon towards the end of March and 

 beginning of April 1909 ; and Ilorsbrugh came across it again 

 in the lower hills of the Southern range, and obtained on 

 the 9th of that month, at Kambos, a nest with four eggs. 



111. Sylvia curruca (Linn.). 



The Lesser Whitethroat is a common visitor on migration, 

 arriving and departing about the same time as the preceding 

 species. Lord Lilford found it common in the low country 

 near water in April ; two of Guillemard's specimens were 

 taken on March the 21st and 29th; Glaszner sent Madarasz 

 a number of skins from various localities, the birds being 

 taken in March, April, September, and October. 



Mr. Baxendale, Horsbrugh,and I found this species common 

 in company with -S. cinerea, but did not discover it breeding.
