610 Mr. J. A. Bucknill oh the 



by Glaszner. Horsbrugh shot a male on March 23i-d at 

 Acheritou, and Mr. Baxendale sent me another killed on 

 April the 18th (1909) at Papho. I suppose that it is a visitor 

 on the migrations^ and perhaps winters in the island. 



323. Anthus campestris (Linn.). 



The only record of the Tawny Pipit from Cyprus with 

 which I am acquainted is that o£ a specimen shot near 

 Larnaca by Lord Lilford on April the 16th, 1875. It is 

 possibly a resident. 



In concluding this very inadequate account of the Pipits, 

 I can only add that, though my recollection is full of 

 remembrances of seeing Pipits in many places in the island, 

 my note-book is practically blank regarding them, an 

 omission which I shall endeavour to rectify. 



330. Pygnongtus xanthopygus (Hempr. & Ehr.). 



The only record of the Palestine Bulbul hitherto is that of 

 Guillemard, who, in mid-April 1887, observed near Larnaca 

 at close quarters a specimen of what he was satisfied was 

 this species. It does not seem to have been met with by any 

 other observer. I have found it a regular but not abundant 

 visitor in spring, arriving about the beginning of May and 

 staying, according to my observation, only about three weeks, 

 my first date being April 30th and my last May 22nd. 

 I have frequently seen three individuals together in my 

 garden iat Nicosia, and Horsbrugh and I this spring (1909) 

 noticed them there from April the 30th to May the 18th. 

 Mr. G. Wilson also saw the bird on May the 5th, 1909, in two 

 localities close to the capital. I have seen it in captivity 

 once in the island, but on enquiry heard that the specimen 

 came from Smyrna. It is no doubt also an autumn migrant. 



335. Oriolus galbula Linn. 



The Golden Oriole is a fairly common visitor in spring 

 and autumn. It was noticed by Sibthorp as not uncommon. 

 Lord Lilford was surprised at observing it only once. 

 Mliller mentions three spring specimens ; and Guillemard,
