6i6 Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the

 walled well and another from a hole in an unused building.

Strixflammea, B. O. U. List, p. 85. 



There is no doubt, now. that the Barn-Owl is a resident, 

 as we obtained at Larnaca a female and three young alive 

 on INI ay 2nd, 1910, and I took a clutch of three fresh eggs 

 from a hole in a cliff near Nicosia on March 18i,h, 191L 



We obtained other specimens of the bird in January, 

 May, and September. 



718. Circus swainsoni Smith. 



The Pallid Harrier is quite common : in the first week of 

 April 1910 there Avas quite a large migration, and Horsbrugh 

 obtained several examples ; the crop of one contained a 

 Little Owl. 



721. BuTEO VULGARIS Lcach. 



Horsbrugh shot a female on the 21st of March, 1910, at 

 Kouklia reservoir : its crop contained a small snake and 

 some lizards and scorpions. 



730. HiERAETUs FAsciATUs (Vieill.). 



I had a pair of eggs of Bonelli's Eagle sent to me 

 by Mr. R. L. Michell of Liraassol. They were highly 

 incubated, but proved amenable to strong caustic potash ; 

 they were taken in the Troodos range on February 12th, 

 1911, and each measured 2*7 x 2*1 inches. 



735. Aquila heliaca Savigny. 



We were lucky enough to obtain several specimens of the 

 Imperial Eagle in different parts of the island : one, a fine 

 male, was knocked over, whilst feeding on a dead sheep, by 

 a stone thrown by a peasant, and brought alive to Horsbrugh 

 at Larnaca. 



739. Haliae'tus albicilla (Linn.). 



Mr. Baxendale shot a large immature male on Novem- 

 ber 16th, 1910, feeding on carrion not far from Famagusta. 



This is the first specimen of the White-tailed Eagle 

 actuallv obtained in the island.
