Mr. J. A. Buclmill on the 
123. Sylvia orphea Temm. 
Sylvia jerdoni (Bly th). 
Sylvia hortensis crassirostris Hartert, Yog. Pal. Faun. i. 
p. 581. 
The Orphean Warbler is evidently a regular visitor on 
migration in spring and autumn. We obtained several at 
the end of March, the beginning of April, the end of 
August, and the beginning of September in different 
localities. Dr. Hartert was kind enough to identify a 
few which I sent to him. 
126. Sylvia melanothorax Tristram. 
The Eev. F. C. R. Jourdain kindly pointed out in this 
Journal (1910, pp. 216 & 217) that the eggs of the Palestine 
Warbler were taken by Glaszner in 1906, and that two 
clutches are in the Tring Museum. Glaszner is a very 
careful collector, and I have no doubt that he is correct in 
his identification. The bird certainly nests in places on the 
Kyrenia hills, as Mr. Baxendale found and obtained both 
old and young near Kantara in August and September; 
he says it is of very skulking habits in the bushes, and 
cocks its tail like a Hartford Warbler. The nest, Glaszner 
says, is extremely hard to find. 
136. Phylloscopus trochilus (Linn.). 
We obtained a number of specimens of the Willow-Wren 
in the spring and autumn; it appears to arrive about the 
middle of March, and reappear in August and September. 
137. Phylloscopus sibilatrix (Bechst.). 
Phylloscopus sibilatrix erlangeri Hartert. 
I sent a rather brightly-coloured male Wood-Wren, shot 
by Mr. G. F. Wilson at Nicosia on April 26th, to Mr. M. J. 
Nicoll, who pronounced it to belong to Harterffs subspecies. 
138. Phylloscopus bonellii (Vieill.). 
Phylloscopus bonellii orientalis Hartert. 
Mr. Baxendale shot a male BonellFs Warbler at Fama¬ 
gusta on April 8th, 1911, which Mr. M. J. Nicoll states 
belongs to the form mentioned above.
