168. AcROCEPHALUS sTREPERus (VieiU.). 



The lleed-Warbler turns out to be not uucommon in 

 suitable places. We obtained seveial from March 12th to 

 May 17th. It is quite probable that some nest in the 

 reed-beds in the neighbourhood of Famagusta ; nearly all 

 our specimens came from the freshwater lake near that 

 town. Apparently it does not occur in winter. 



170. ACROCEPHALUS ARUNDINACEUS (LinU.). 



Acroce2)}talus turduides, B. O. U. List, p. 19. 



The Great Reed-Warbler we find to be a regular and not 

 uncommon spring and autumn visitor to localities where 

 there are reedy marshes. Mr. Baxendale, Mr. Wilson, and 

 Mr. liorslrngh shot and saw specimens in various localities 

 between March 26th and the first week in May, mostly at 

 the freshwater lake and Acheritou reservoir. 



175. AcROCEPHALUS SCUffiNOB^NUS (Liuu.). 



Acrocephaius phragmitis (Beclist.) B. O. U. List, p. 20. 



We find the Sedge-Warbler a regular sj^ring and autumn 

 migrant in suitable places. Mr. Baxendale obtained and 

 observed numerous specimens at the freshwater lake and 

 Kouklia reservoir between March 10th and the middle of 

 May, and again in October. 



182. LusciNiOLA MELANOPOGON (Tcmm.) . 



1 am glad to be able to add the Moustached Warbler to 

 the list of Cyprus birds. Mr. Baxendale obtained a male in 

 good plumage on March 19tli, 1911, at the freshwater lake, 

 Famagusta. 



194. Cettia cettii (Marra.). 



Cettia sericea (Temm.) B. O. U. List, p. 22. 



Mr. Baxendale heard Cctti's Warbler at the freshwater 

 lake, Famagusta, in May, though he did not obtain a 

 specimen ; but on June 6th, 1909, he shot at Papho a very 

 juvenile example, which ]\Ir. M. J. Nicoil, who kindly 

 identified it, considers must have been bred in the island. 

 It is evidently uncommon.
