386 Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 



I have thouglit it best to incorporate iu this — the third 

 and last instalment of ray paper such of Schrader's notes as 

 can conveniently be included, and have added short parti- 

 culars of the few species for the addition of which to the 

 Cypriote list he is solely responsible, and which would in 

 ordinary sequence have appeared in the two prior parts. 



The remarks in Schrader's paper, which are interesting 

 and useful, do not bear evidence of close accuracy, but 

 contain several obvious mistakes and a certain amount of 

 information the correctness of which I am inclined to doubt. 



776. Phalacrocorax carbo (Linn.). 



Sibthorp included the Cormorant iu his list as Pelecanus 

 carbo and it reappears in Unger and Kotschy's as Carbo 

 Cormoranus Meyer. Schrader states that it sometimes 

 appears in winter. 



No specimens were obtained by Lord Lilford or his col- 

 lectors, though Guillemard mentions " a pair of Cormorants " 

 which he watched through his telescope off Cape Gata. Lord 

 Lilford was inclined to think that the Shag was the only 

 species of this genus to be found in Cyprus, but Madarasz 

 rightly points out that the Cormorant is not an improbable 

 winter visitor. The only specimen obtained up to the 

 present of which I am aware is a female taken by Glaszner 

 on November 16th, 1902, near Larnaca and despatched to 

 Madarasz. Horsbrugh and I saw an old male on the wing 

 close to the pier at Limassol on February 8th, 1910, and 

 two days later Horsbrugh noticed four or five at Cape Gata. 



781. Phalaciiocorax graculus (Linn.). 



The Shag is a resident and breeds, though not in any large 

 numbers, in a few suitable places round the coast. It is 

 sometimes seen on the fresh-water reservoirs. 



Lord Lilford occasionally observed it in pairs or singly 

 off the south coast in April or May, 1875, and through Guil- 

 lemard received from Capt. (now Sir Arthur) Young — then 

 Commissioner of Famagusta — in January 1889, an immature 

 specimen. I heard of it near Kyrenia at the end of October 

 1908, from Major Bolton, Commissioner of that District ;
