764. Falco peregrinus Tunstall. 



Mr. Baxendale shot a fine male Peregrine near Famagiista. 

 It was identified by Mr. Nicoll. In September of 1911 I 

 found, at Paplios, Peregrines frequenting the old Turkish 

 round-house which stands some way out at sea separated by 

 a long-ruined wave-washed wall from the Fort (now used as 

 a store) : I have no doubt that this remote and isolated 

 spot is also a breeding-place of this species. 



7G5. Falco punicus Levaill. 



Mr. Baxendale, on the 9th of January, 1912, shot, near 

 Famagusta, a fine specimen of the Lesser Peregrine which 

 was identified by Mr. Nicoll. 



At the Klides Islands on April 19th, 1912, Mr. Baxendale 

 discovered the nest with four nestlings, the largest of which 

 was already shewing some signs of plumage and which were 

 considerably bigger than the two nestlings found on the same 

 island on JNIay 11th, 1911. The eyrie was in a roomy fissure 

 in a loAv cliff, not in the same spot as the previous year. 

 Uemains of Quail and a Mediterranean Herring-Gull (which 

 were nesting in numbers on the island) were noticed in the 

 vicinity of the nest. 



708. Falco .^salon Tunstall. 



Mr. Baxendale obtained a female Merlin on March 17th, 

 1912, at Famagusta; Mr. Wilson another in January ; and 

 others were seen. 



769. Falco subbuteo Linn. 



Mr. Baxendale obtained the Hobby near Famagusta in 

 the spring of 1912, and saw others. 



776. Phalacrocorax carbo (Linn.). 



We find the Cormorant to be a regular winter visitor, 

 though not common. We have obtained more than one 

 specimen. 



781. Phalacrocorax graculus (Linn.). 



Mr. Baxendale on the 19th of April, 1912, found the Shag 

 breeding in small numbers on the Klides Islands, with young 

 birds fully fledged. Mr. Baxendale noticed that the young 

 birds were extremely pale underneath [the form, presumably,
