Ornithology of Cyprus . 
168. Acrocephalus streperus (Vieill.). 
The Reed-Warbler turns out to be not uncommon in 
suitable places. We obtained several from March 12th to 
May 17th. It is quite probable that some nest in the 
reed-beds in the neighbourhood of Famagusta; nearly all 
our specimens came from the freshwater lake near that 
town. Apparently it does not occur in winter. 
170. Acrocephalus arundinaceus (Linn.). 
Acrocephalus turdoides, B. O. U. List, p. 19. 
The Great Reed-Warbler we find to be a regular and not 
uncommon spring and autumn visitor to localities where 
there are reedy marshes. Mr. Baxendale, Mr. Wilson, and 
Mr. Horsbrugh shot and saw specimens in various localities 
between March 26th and the first week in May, mostly at 
the freshwater lake and Acheritou reservoir, 
175. Acrocephalus scHCENOBiENUs (Linn.). 
Acrocephalus phragmitis (Bechst.) B. O. U. List, p. 20. 
We find the Sedge-Warbler a regular spring and autumn 
migrant in suitable places. Mr. Baxendale obtained and 
observed numerous specimens at the freshwater lake and 
Kouklia reservoir between March 10th and the middle of 
May, and again in October. 
182. Lusciniola melanopogon (Temm.). 
I am glad to be able to add the Moustached Warbler to 
the list of Cyprus birds. Mr. Baxendale obtained a male in 
good plumage on March 19th, 1911, at the freshwater lake, 
Famagusta. 
194. Cettia cettii (Marm.). 
Cettia sericea (Temm.) B. O. U. List, p. 22. 
Mr. Baxendale heard Cetti’s Warbler at the freshwater 
lake, Famagusta, in May, though he did not obtain a 
specimen ; but on June 6th, 1909, he shot at Papho a very 
juvenile example, which Mr. M. J. Nicoll, who kindly 
identified it, considers must have been bred in the island. 
It is evidently uncommon.
