At the bejiiiming of July 1910 Mr. G. Y. Wilson found 

 three young birds, unable to fly, at the Caledonia Falls, on 

 Troodos (5000 ft.). The Cyprian Dipper was often seen by 

 me last summer in the same place,

We have cleared up satisfactorily the question of the status 

 in Cyprus of the Cyprian Eastern Pied Chat by careful 

 observation. It is not a resident, but only a summer visitor, 

 and many individuals are merely birds of passage at the 

 migrations. It leaves Cyprus at the end of October and 

 beginning of November, and reappears about the second 

 week in March. We all independently came to the same 

 conclusion. Of course, we could not visit the mountains in 

 the depth of winter, but it is hardly conceivable that the bird 

 would stay on those bleak heights and flee from the hospitable 

 plains.

Mr. Baxendale obtained two more specimens of the 

 "Eastern" form of the Black-throated Whcatcar near 

 Famagusta, both males, on March 21st and April 2nd, 

 1910, respectively. They were kindly identitied by Mr. 

 M. J. Nicoll.

 Apparently we get both the Eastern and AVestern forms of 



the Black-eared Wheatear here on migration. Mr. Baxen- 

 dale shot a male on April 3rd, 1910, of A (the Eastern 

 form) at Famagusta, and a male and female of B near the 

 same place on the 7th and 8tli of April, 1911. They were 

 all kindly identified by Mr. M. J. Nicoli.

Further observation proves that the Arabian Chat is 

 quite a common winter visitor on suitable ground. It
