318 Lord Lil ford —Lis/ of 



from Larnaca, on April 21, 1875. I was beating the marsh 

 for Crakes with a good retriever, when this bird rose at my 

 feet, and I had the luck to secure it by a snap shot at a 

 very short distance with no appreciable damage to its plu- 

 mage. *. L. 



52. Cetti's Warbler. Stjkia cetlii. 



I heard the well-known song of this bird once only in 

 Cyprus, from a small tamarisk jungle near Limasol. I have 

 two specimens from the island, one of which was obtained by 

 Pearse at Chrysoroghiatisa on November 11, 1878, and the 

 other by Guillemard at Lefka, May 23, 1887. *. 



53. Fantail Warbler. Chticola cursitans. 



Common in the wheat-lands bordering the marshes, but 

 by no means so abundant as in Andalucia and Algeria. *. 



54. Whitethroat. Sylvia cinerea. 



I have three specimens of this bird from Cyprus, a female 

 shot near Larnaca by one of our party on April 21, 1875, 

 and two of the same sex obtained by Guillemard in the 

 Karpas district on March 20, 1888. *. 



55. Lesser Whitethroat. Sylvia curruca. 



Common in the low country amongst gardens and slirubs 

 in the neighbourhood of water in April. Tm'O of Guil- 

 lemard's specimens are dated respectively 21st and 29th 

 March, 1888. *. 



56. SuBALPiNE Warbler. Sylvia suhalpina. 

 Guillemard records shooting one of this species near Agia 



Napa on March 7, 1888, but I cannot find tiie specimen, 

 though I have no doubt as to its correct identification. *. G. 



57. Spectacled Warbler. Sylvia conspicillata. 



With one exception, the specimens of this bird obtained 

 by Guillemard are dated from 9th to 26th March, the excep- 

 tion bears the date of April 7. I noticed this species in 

 Cyprus only near Trikhomo, and being in pursuit of Fran- 

 colins, did not shoot at any of these little Warblers, which 

 were pretty common in the scrubby plain at the foot of the 

 hills. H=. ^
