Si/lvia hortensis crassirostris Hartert^ Vog. Pal. Faun. i.

The Orphean Warbler is evidently a regular visitor on 

 migration in s[)ring and autumn. We obtained several at 

 tiie end of INlarch, the beginning of April, the end of 

 August, and the beginning of September in different 

 localities. Dr. Hartcrt was kind enough to identify a 

 few which I sent to him. 



12G. Sylvia melanothorax Tristram. 



The Ulv. F. C. R. Jourdain kindly pointed out in this 

 Journal (1910, pp. 216 & 217) that the eggs of the Palestine 

 Warbler were taken by Glaszner in 1906, and that two 

 clutches are in the Tring Museum. Glaszner is a very 

 careful collector, and I have no doubt tliat he is correct in 

 his identification. The bird certainly nests in places on the 

 Kyrenia hills, as Mr. Baxendale found and obtained both 

 old and young near Kantara in August and September; 

 he says it is of very skulking habits in the bushes, and 

 cocks its tail like a Dartfurd Warbler. The nest, Glaszner 

 says, is extremely hard to find. 



136. Phylloscopus trochilus (Linn.). 



We obtained a number of specimens of the Willow-Wren 

 in the spring and autumn ; it appears to arrive about the 

 middle of March, and reappear in August and September. 



137. Phylloscopus sibilatrix (Beclist.). 

 FlnjUoscupus sibilatrix erlangeri Hartert. 



I sent a rather brightly-coloured male Wood-Wren, shot 

 by Mr. G. F. Wilson at Nicosia on April 2Gth, to Mv. M. J. 

 Nicoli, who pronounced it to belong to Hartert^s subspecies. 



138. Phylloscopus bonellii (Vieill.). 

 Phytloscojms bonellii orientalis Hartert. 



Mv. Baxendale shot a male Bouelli's Warbler at Fama- 

 gusta on April 8th, 1911, which Mr. M. J. Nicoli states 

 belongs to the form mentioned above.
