390 Mr. J. A. Buckuill on the 



species on April the 27th and again in August, 1877 ; Miiller 

 mentions an adult male taken in spring ; Guillemard came 

 across the bird in early April 1888, near Larnaca, and at the 

 end of that month near Famagusta ; Glaszner sent Madarasz 

 three examples obtained in the latter half of the same 

 mouth. 



797. Ardea ralloides Scop. 



Lord Lilford found the Squacco Heron tolerably frequent 

 during his visit; Schrader observed some on September 

 the 11th, 1877; Miiller records an adult pair taken in spring ; 

 Guillemard met with the bird in precisely the same 

 localities and on the same dates as the preceding species, 

 and Glaszner sent two males to Madarasz taken near Larnaca 

 on April the 10th and May the 6th. I received a male from 

 Mr. Barrett shot at Athalassa near Nicosia on March the 

 24th, 1909. Horsbrugh met with a few birds at Acheritou 

 during his stay and obtained a male on the 9th and another 

 on the 10th of April (1909). Mr. A. Douglas sent me a fine 

 male, shot at the Acheritou reservoir, on May the 7th, and 

 Mr. Baxendale came across two individuals near Papho 

 about the same date. 



800. Nycticorax griseus (Linn.). 



The Night Heron was observed by Sibthorp. Lord Lilford 

 did not think it very abundant, but saw it on several 

 occasions and obtained it at Limassol. Schrader noticed 

 it on March the 10th, but thought it rare. It does not appear 

 to have been mentioned by Guillemard in his ' Ibis ' articles ; 

 but Glaszner sent to Madarasz four specimens taken near 

 Larnaca in March, April, and May, and shewed me a male 

 in his possession from the same neighbourhood. Horsbrugh 

 obtained an immature male at Kouklia reservoir on April the 

 9th, 1909; an adult male frequented the large tank (which 

 contains many fishes) in my garden at Nicosia for some hours 

 on April the 13th in the same year; Mr. Baxendale and 

 Horsbrugh shot a very juvenile specimen on May the 23rd 

 in some reed-beds near Paphos, and the former secured a 

 fine young male out of a flock of six near the same place 

 on October the 8th.
