XVIII. — On the Ornithology of Cyprus. — Part III. 

 By John A. Bucknill,M.A., F.Z.S., M.B.O.U.* 



Since the publication of the two prior instalments of this 

 paper my attention has kindly been drawn by Victor, Ritter 

 von Tschusi zu Schmidhoffen, to a not unimportant article 

 on Cypriote Ornithology which seems to have hitherto 

 escaped notice. This article is by Herr G. Schrader and 

 appeared in the ' Ornithologisches Jahrbuch ' of December, 

 1891. It forms the second part of a paper entitled ' Orni- 

 thologische Beobachtungen auf meinen Sammelreisen/ and 

 purports to give an account of the birds observed and taken 

 by the author during a visit to Cyprus between October 3rd, 

 1876, and April 3rd, 1878. 



It appears fairly clear from certain of the data that 

 the author must be the collector whose consignments were 

 despatched to Schliiter, while some of them were examined 

 by Herr August Miiller, who published his account of them 

 in 1879 (vide ' The Ibis/ 1909, p. 576). Schrader's paper 

 mentions 146 species, and it is somewhat remarkable that he 

 includes several birds which apparently did not reach Miiller 

 and which have not been recorded from the island by any 

 other observer. 



* Continued from above, p. 47. The numbers in front of the names 

 are those of Dresser's ' Manual of Palfearctic Birds.'
