598 Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 



on April 27th, but afterwards observed it iu more or less 

 abundance in the scrubby uncultivated grounds near the 

 sea in all the localities which he visited. Pearse sent him 

 many specimens. Guillemard found it, evidently arriving on 

 migration, at the Limassol promontory on March 7th, and 

 shot it afterwards in many different parts of the island from 

 sea-level up to 2000 feet or more on the hills ; he did not 

 find it common on the northern side of the Kyrenia range, 

 but met with it in December on the Mesaoria plain on his 

 .second visit. Miss Bate found it common in summer on 

 the Troodos range at 4600 feet. Glaszner sent to Madarasz 

 alone more than a hundred specimens, taken at all times of 

 the year and from all parts of the island. 



The species is evidently in the main a summer visitor, 

 though a considerable number remain throughout the winter. 

 Strangely enough, the nest and eggs have not been, so far as 

 I am aware, yet taken or observed. 



To what has already been written on this bird in Cyprus 

 I can add nothing. I have seen a fair number, and can only 

 suggest that it nests in May. 



Regulus sp. inc. 



Jn March 1887 Guillemard observed a Regulus (which he 

 could not clearly identify) at Episkopi, near Limassol. 

 Probably it was R. ignicapillus (Brehm), which is common 

 in the Taurus range. 



136. Phylloscopus trochilus (Linn.). 



The Willow-Wren is another spring and autumn visitor. 

 It was included in Sibthorp^s list : he took it on his ship on 

 April 4th. Lord Lilford found it common, but not nearly 

 so abundant as the Cliiffchaff ; Pearse obtained several 

 specimens in October ; Guillemard does not mention it in his 

 two articles. Glaszner sent Madarasz seven specimens 

 taken near Larnaca and on the Troodos range in September 

 and October. It is rather remarkable that although I have 

 been extrenicly familiar with this species from boyhood I 

 have never heard it in Cyprus, and the only occasion when 

 1 have seen it was in early May of 1909 at Nicosia in some
