List of the Birds of Cyprus. 305 



elsewhere, having, with the exception of the parts above 

 mentioned, become fully feathered ; it differs, however, 

 from the adult in wanting the clear luteous spaces on the 

 outer side of the scapulars, and in having the exterior edge 

 of the under wing-coverts variegated with blackish brown. 



The ear-tufts, which are imperfect in the adult specimen, 

 are newly grown in the younger bird, and exhibit two shades 

 of rufous brown, the darker and lighter alternating. 



The central rectrices exhibit one more light cross bar than 

 exists in the tail of the adult. 



XXXII. — A List of the Birds of Cyprus. 

 By Lord Lilford. 



Dr. F. H. H. Guillemard's two most interesting articles 

 on Cyprus (Ibis, 1888, p. 94, and 1889, p. 20G) have left 

 me little to record; but as I think that a systematic list 

 of the birds met with in the i&land by him, Mr. W. Pearse, 

 and myself may be of some service to future collectors, I 

 oflFer the following notes to the readers of ' The Ibis ' in 

 the hope that the list may be, as I am confident that it can 

 be, very much augmented. With regard to the specimens 

 collected by Mr. Pearse, I must mention that many of the 

 names on the labels attached to the skins are in Greek cha- 

 racters, and often almost illegible, and as I never received any 

 letter or explanatory notes from him during his unfortunate 

 stay in Cyprus, the principal value of his specimens is the 

 proof of the occurrence of their species in that locality. I shall 

 specify the instances in which a species was obtained or met 

 with by only one of us, by the initial G., P., or L., at the 

 conclusion of the paragraph relating to it. 



I must take this opportunity of recording my grateful 

 acknowledgments to Mr. H. Seebohm, Mr. R. B. Sharpe, 

 Dr. A. Glinther, and Lieut. -Colonel Irby, for their assis- 

 tance in identifications, and for certain observations upon 

 these collections, and most of all to Dr. Guillemard for his 

 trouble in collecting and for the beautiful condition of the 

 specimens preserved hy him.
