the Birds of Cyprus. 341 



one, from Pearse, is labelled " $ . Larnaca, October 1, 1878;" 

 the other from Guillemard, " Famagusta Lake, May 21, 1888." 

 Cf. Miiller; op. supra cit. *. 



170. Curlew Sandpiper. Tringa subarquata. 

 Cf. Unger and Kotseliy, op. supra cit. 



171. Sanderling. Calidris arenaria. 



One specimen only in my collections from Cyprus, a male 

 in complete winter plumage, obtained by Pearse, Larnaca, 

 October 1, 1888. *. P. 



172. Ruff. Machetes pugnax. 



Not uncommon on the vernal migration. One of Guille- 

 mard's specimens is dated Feb. 27, 1888, and he mentions 

 a Ruff as obtained on May 20th, " in full plumage " {cf. Ibis, 

 1889, p. 219). *. 



173. Common Sandpiper. Toianus hypoleucos. 



Very common in April and May on almost all parts of the 

 coasts of Cyprus visited by me. *. 



174. Green Sandpiper. Totanus ochrupus. 

 Frequent, singly or in couples, wherever there was mud, 



in April and May. Guillemard obtained specimens in March 

 on both of his visits to Cyprus, *. 



175. Wood Sandpiper. Totanus glareola. 



Common, especially near Limasol, in May. From the 

 manners of a pair of this species observed in that neighbour- 

 hood, near a little pool fringed with tamarisk-bushes and high 

 rushes, I am convinced that they had a nest there, but we 

 sought for it in vain. *. 



176. Marsh Sandpiper. Totanus stagnatV is. 



One specimen only in our Cyprian collections, received, 

 without any particulars, through Guillemard from Captain 

 Young, of Famagusta, in January 1889. I did not identify 

 the Marsh Sandpiper, a species with which I am well ac- 

 quainted, in Cyprus. Cf. Unger and Kotschy, op. supra 

 cit. *.
