At the beginning of July 1910 Mr. G. F. Wilson found 
three young birds, unable to fly, at the Caledonia Falls, on 
Troodos (5000 ft.). The Cyprian Dipper was often seen by 
me last summer in the same place.

We have cleared up satisfactorily the question of the status 
in Cyprus of the Cyprian Eastern Pied Chat by careful 
observation. It is not a resident, but only a summer visitor, 
and many individuals are merely birds of passage at the 
migrations. It leaves Cyprus at the end of October and 
beginning of November, and reappears about the second 
week in March. We all independently came to the same 
conclusion. Of course, we could not visit the mountains in 
the depth of winter, but it is hardly concei\able that the bird 
would stay on those bleak heights and flee from the hospitable 
plains.

Mr. Baxendale obtained two more specimens of the 
“ Eastern ” form of the Black-throated Wheatear near 
Famagusta, both males, on March 21st and April 2nd, 
1910, respectively. They were kindly identified by Mr. 
M. J. Nicoll.

(A) Saxicola amphileuca Ehr. 
(B) Saxicola hispanica xanthomelcena~S. albicollis Texnm. 
Apparently we get both the Eastern and Western forms of 
the Black-eared Wheatear here on migration. Mr. Baxen¬ 
dale shot a male on April 3rd, 1910, of A (the Eastern 
form) at Famagusta, and a male and female of B near the 
same place on the 7th and 8th of April, 1911. They were 
all kindly identified by Mr. M. J. Nicoll.

Further observation proves that the Arabian Chat is 
quite a common winter visitor on suitable ground. It
