14 Mv. P. J. C. McGrpgor on [Ibis, 



Acrocephalus palustris. INIarsli-Wavbler. 



In 1910 about half a dozen specimens, evidently on 

 passage, appeared between the 23rd and the 29th of 

 September, and I shot one. 



Phylloscopus trochilus. Willow- Wren. 



The earliest date on which I recorded the arrival of the 

 Willow-Wren is April 14, 1910, none having been observed 

 in the following year till May 1. In 1910, however, tliey 

 were not seen in any numbers (two and three together) till 

 April 15-18, and I saw none after May 5 until I went into 

 camp, when a few were to be found among the trees at the 

 Boghaz (the gorge below Eyer Dagh). They were abundant 

 on passage from September 20 to October 18, the largest 

 flights being the latest. 



Phylloscopus sibilatrix. Wood- Warbler. 

 On October 1, 1911, 1 observed a Warbler which I took to 

 be of this species, 



Phylloscopus collybita. Chiffchaff. 



Appeared about the 4th of April and, despite cold and 

 snow, continued to pass steadily and in increasing numbers 

 until the end of the month. The autumn passage began 

 regularly about the 1st of September, and numbers were to 

 be seen in the kitchen-gardens and in the scrub till mid- 

 October, the latest record being the 15th of the month. 



A few ChiffchafPs were noted as having been seen'in May, 

 July, and August, 1911, but it is quite possible that these 

 may have been insufficiently identified and may have 

 belonged to some allied species which remains to breed. 



Turdus musicus. Song-Thrush. 



Only seen on migration in spring. In 1910 half a dozen 

 were observed between April 4 and 14, and in 1911 one on 

 April 15. 



Turdus iliacus. Redwing. 



One was observed on April 15, 1910, after a heavy 

 snow-storm.
