379. MusciCAPA coLLARis Bcolistcin. 



We found tlie White-collared Flycatcher fairly common 

 everywhere at tlie end of March and in April, 



388. IIiRUNDo RUSTIC A Linn. 



In 1910 a Swallow arrived with a small bell attached to its 

 foot and nested in ray stable. I could not ascertain that the 

 bell had been attached by anyone in the island. I caught the 

 bird and examined the bell — a child's toy. The bird hatched 

 its young, and did not return — at any rate^ with the bell — 

 this year. 



393. HiRUNDo RuruLA Temm. 



Our observations now shew that the Red-rumped Swallow 

 arrives at the end of March and in early April, leaving in 

 early September : earliest date March 23rd, and latest date 

 September 26th. Mr. Baxendale found it nesting in 

 abundance near Kantara Castle, and took fresh eggs on 

 May 10th. 



396. Chelidon urbica (Linn.). 



The House-Martin arrives about the last week in IMarch, 

 and leaves at the beginning of October. I found numbers 

 in the KyreniaPass, on the northern range. Mr. Baxendale 

 saw a single bird on December 11th, 1910, at the freshwater 

 lake. 



400. CoTYLE RiPARiA (Linn.). 



The Sand-Martin was found quite regularly in spring and 

 autumn — in April and again in mid-October. 



402. CoTYLE RUPESTRIS ScOp. 



The Crag-Martin is a partial resident, and considerable 

 numbers frequent the rocky southern coasts of the island 

 throughout the winter. I found them near Papho even in 

 the bitter January of this year : they are well known there to 

 the local sportsmen as " Trerpo^x^eXchovt." I found them also 

 nesting in the Kyrenia Pass along with the IIousc-Martiu.
