326 Lord Uirord—List of 



96. House Sparrow. Passe?' domesticus. 



Very abundant about the towns and villages, wliere it 

 breeds in great numbers. *. 



97. Spanish Sparrow. Passer saJicicola. 



I find one very fine male in Guillemard's collection, dated 

 Makkera Monastery, March 12, 1888, and it is possible that 

 I may have given away one or two other specimens of this 

 bird, but I have no recollection of having received more than 

 one from him, and suppose that it must be uncommon in 

 Cyprus, as I did not meet with it in any of the many likely 

 localities that I visited, and only received a few specimens 

 from Pearse. I can find no mention of tiiis species in 

 Guillemard's ' Ibis ' articles. *. 



98. Hock Sparrow. Fringilla petronia (sic). 



Cf. linger and Kotschy, op. supra cit. Not met with by 

 any of us. 



99. Hawfinch. Coccothraustes vulgaris. 



One only seen alive in captivity at Papho by Guillemard, 

 cf. ' Ibis,' 1889, p. 217. 



100. Greenfinch. FringiUa chloris. 



My only authority for giving this species a place in this 

 list is that I find it in a rough list compiled by Guillemard 

 and myself, with the initial G. after the name of the bird. 



101. Goldfinch. Cardueiis elegans. 

 Exceedingly abundant and breeds. *. 



102. Serine Finch. Serinus hortuUmus. 



Not uncommon in the south of the island, and obtained by 

 Guillemard at the camp, on Troodos, in March and April. *. 



103. Linnet. Fringilla bella (Guillemard), Ibis, 1888, 

 p. 105. 



I have given the systematic name as above for the sake of 

 reference to Guillemard's *' Ibis ' ariicle. The bird is common 

 in Cyprus, and one specimen, obtained by Guillemard on 

 June 2nd, is certainly very brightly coloured on the breast; 

 but although I have no specimens from other countries now at 

 hand with which to compare it, I certainly have met Avith
