199. CisTicoLA cuRSiTANs (Fi'auklin). 



Careful investigation has proved that the Fantail-Warbler 

 is a resident in some lociilities. At the freshwater hdve, 

 Famagusta, Mr. Baxendale had it under observation the 

 whole year, and it bred there in some numbers; the young 

 birds left the nest during the first week in June. 



287. Certiiia familiaris Linn. 



Certhia bracJujdactyla dorothe(je Hartert. 



I found a nest of the Cy2)riote Tree-Creeper, with young 

 and one unfertile egg, in a hole in a wall on Troodos (at 

 about 5000 feet) in early July 1910. The ground-colour 

 of tlie eggs was whitish, and the obtuse end was thickly zoned 

 with reddish-brown blotches. Size : 16 x 13 mm. 



313. Anthus pratensis (Linn.). 



1 think that a few IVIeadow-Pipits must nest with us, 

 as on May 7th, 1910, I had four fresh eggs brought to me, 

 taken in the fields close to Nicosia, which 1 cannot ascribe 

 to any other bird. The species is abundant from November 

 to April. 



315. Anthus trivialis (Linn.). 



AVe obtained a few Tree-Pipits during September. 



317, Anthus cervinus (Pall.). 



We found the Red-throated Pipit quite abundant on both 

 migrations, and obtained specimens between March 18th and 

 May 2nd, and again between September 26th and November 

 8th. 



323. Anthus campestris (Linn.). 



I had two eggs brought to me on May 7tli, 1910, taken 

 on the ground near Nicosia. They are certainly Pi})its', 

 and I think probably those of the Tawny Pipit. Mr. Jourdain, 

 who saw one, could not express any confident opinion as to 

 their identity. They were certainly neither Meadow- nor 

 Tree- Pipits' eggs. 



The Tawny Pij)it mu^t be very uncommon in Cy^prus, as 

 none of Us have ever got a specimen.
