377 f. Muscicapa grisola Linn. 



The Spotted Flycatcher was first identified in Cyprus by 

 Sibthorp. Lord Lilford found it tolerably abundant in 

 April and May, and Guillemard obtained specimens as late 

 as the 25th of the latter month. Miss Bate observed it 

 frequently on the southern range in summer, as well as 

 in the plains in spring; and Glaszuer sent Madarasz a 

 number of specimens taken in May, August, September, 

 and October. 



From the 11th of April until the 19th of May, 1909, Mr. 

 Baxendale, Horsbrugh, and I found it fairly numerous in 

 various localities, and obtained several examples ; but we did 

 not find its nest. The bird is no doubt mainly a spring and 

 autumn visitor, but some remain and breed in the mountains. 



378. Muscicapa atricapilla Linn. 



Sibthorp obtained the Pied Flycatcher on the Troodos 

 Mountains on April the 23rd, 1787. Lord Lilford thought 

 it not very abundant, but noticed it in the south of the Karpas 

 in April. Guillemard met with it near Famagusta late in
