434 Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the Ornithology of Cyprus. 



289. Tichodroma muraria Linn. 



Schrader states that he once saw a pair of Wall-Creepers, 

 and obtained one of them on the rocks near the mon- 

 astery at Stavrovouni in the Larnaca district. 



It is hardly possible that any error could be made with 

 regard to this very striking bird and the locality is one well 

 suited to this Creeper's requirements. 



338. Lanius excubitor Linn. 



Schrader states that he observed some specimens of the 

 Great Grey Shrike at the end of August which he thought 

 were on migration. This is probably a mistake and the 

 birds seen by Schrader were more likely to have been 

 L. minor, to which Schrader does not refer. 



379. Muscicapa collaris Bechstein. 



Schrader mentions seeing some on April the 14th, 1877. 



Horsbrugh obtained a fine male of the White-collared 

 Flycatcher in a small plantation near Famagusta on April the 

 13th, 1910, and two days later Mr. Baxendale shot a second 

 in his garden at the same place. 



529. Emberiza cia Linn. 



Schrader writes that the Meadow Bunting arrives about 

 March the 12th and stays till the end of September, but is rare. 



This is possibly a correct record. 



737. Aquila chrysaetus (Linn.). 



Schrader writes that he saw the Golden Eagle several 

 times near Papho, but I have little doubt that the species 

 observed was really A. heliaca, the Imperial Eagle. 



I have also to add : — 



94. Cyanecula suecica (Linn.). 



A pair of Red-spotted Bluethroats frequented the fresh- 

 water lake at Famagusta after the end of January 1910. 

 Mr. Baxendale secured the female on March the 27th and 

 the male — a superb specimen — on the 31st. This species 

 is probably a rare winter visitor. 



877. Erismatura leucocephala (Scop.). 



A small party of the White-headed Duck frequented 

 Kouklia reservoir at the end of April, and Mr. Baxendale 

 secured two males on May 4th, 1910, through Mr. A. 

 Douglas.
