Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
199. Cisticola cursitans (Franklin). 
Careful investigation lias proved that the Fantail-Warbler 
is a resident in some localities. At the freshwater lake, 
Famagusta, Mr. Baxendale had it under observation the 
whole year, and it bred there in some numbers; the young 
birds left the nest during the first week in June. 
287. Certhia familiaris Linn. 
Cert hi a brachydactyla dorothece Hartert. 
I found a nest of the Cypriote Tree-Creeper, with young 
and one unfertile egg, in a hole in a wall on Troodos (at 
about 5000 feet) in early July 1910. The ground-colour 
of the eggs was whitish, and the obtuse end was thickly zoned 
with reddish-brown blotches. Size : 16 x 12 mm. 
313. Anthus pratensis (Linn.). 
I think that a few Meadow-Pipits must nest with us, 
as on May 7th, 1910, I had four fresh eggs brought to me, 
taken in the fields close to Nicosia, which I cannot ascribe 
to any other bird. The species is abundant from November 
to April. 
315. Anthus trivialis (Linn.). 
We obtained a few Tree-Pipits during September. 
317. Anthus cervinus (Pall.). 
We found the Bed-throated Pipit quite abundant on both 
migrations, and obtained specimens between March 18th and 
May 2nd, and again between September 26th and November 
8th. 
323. Anthus campestrts (Linn.); 
I had two eggs brought to me on May 7th, 1910, taken 
on the ground near Nicosia. They are certainly Pipits’, 
and I think probably those of the Tawny Pipit. Mr. Jourdain, 
who saw one, could not express any confident opinion as to 
their identity. They were certainly neither Meadow- nor 
Tree-Pipits’ eggs. 
The Tawny Pipit must be very uncommon in Cyprus, as 
none of us have ever got a specimen.
