424 Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 



Lord Lilford found it exceedingly common in April 1875, 

 especially near the Larnaca salt-lakes. Schrader writes of 

 it as a winter visitor. Guillemard only mentions it once, 

 when he met with a stray specimen near Limassol in early 

 March, 1887. Glaszner sent Madarasz a female taken on 

 November the 5th, 1903, near Larnaca. The Redshank is, I 

 believe, not at all uncommon in winter and at the seasons 

 of migration, and I think forms no small proportion of the 

 flocks of Waders sometimes observed near the reservoirs. 

 Mr. Nicolls informs me that he has shot the bird more than 

 once in the island. Mr. Baxendale obtained a female from 

 Acheritou on January the 12th, 1910, and a few days later 

 Horsbrugh met with several individuals at the Larnaca salt- 

 lake. 



1084. Totanus ruscus (Linn.). 



A female Spotted Redshank was shot by Lord Lilford in a 

 marsh near Larnaca on April the 21st, 1875. Mr. Baxendale 

 shot a female near Faraagusta on March the 11th, 1910. 

 1 know of no other local records. This is, no doubt, an 

 uncommon spring and autumn migraut but it is easily 

 overlooked. 



1085. Totanus glottis Naum. 

 Totanus canescens, B. O. U. List, p. 177. 



Lord Lilford found the Greenshank not uncommon in 

 the swampy plains westward of Salamis in April — not in 

 flocks but singly or in couples — probably pairs. Apparently, 

 either Pearse or Guillemard obtained specimens, but the 

 latter does not mention the species in his i Ibis ' articles. 

 Mr. G. F. Wilson shot a male at Pyroi, near Nicosia, on 

 October the 3rd, 1909. No doubt it is solely a visitor in 

 spring and autumn, a few, perhaps, wintering in the island. 



1087. Totanus stagnatilis Bechst. 



As " Totanus stagnalis (!) Bechst." the Marsh-Sandpiper 

 is one of Unger and Kotschy's additions to Sibthorp's list; 

 but there are, of course, no data given. However, Lord 

 Lilford received, without particulars, through Guillemard, in 

 January 1889, a single specimen which had been obtained 

 by or through Captain (now Sir Arthur) Young, at that time
