379. Muscicapa collaris Bechstein. 
We found the White-collared Flycatcher fairly common 
everywhere at the end of March and in April. 
388. Hirundo rustica Linn. 
In 1910 a Swallow arrived with a small hell attached to its 
foot and nested in my stable. I could not ascertain that the 
bell had been attached by anyone in the island. I caught the 
bird and examined the bell—a chihFs toy. The bird hatched 
its young, and did not return—at any rate, with the bell— 
this year. 
393. Hirundo rufula Temm. 
Our observations now shew that the Bed-rumped Swallow 
arrives at the end of March and in early April, leaving in 
early September : earliest date March 23rd, and latest date 
September 26th. Mr. Baxendale found it nesting in 
abundance near Kantara Castle, and took fresh eggs on 
May 10th. 
396. Chelidon urbica (Linn.). 
The House-Martin arrives about the last week in March, 
and leaves at the beginning of October. I found numbers 
in the KyreniaPass, on the northern range. Mr. Baxendale 
saw a single bird on December 11th, 1910, at the freshwater 
lake. 
400. Cotyle riparia (Linn.). 
The Sand-Martin was found quite regularly in spring and 
autumn—in April and again in mid-October. 
402. Cotyle rupestris Scop. 
The Crag-Martin is a partial resident, and considerable 
numbers frequent the rocky southern coasts of the island 
throughout the winter. I found them near Papho even in 
the bitter January of’ this year : they are well known there to 
the local sportsmen as “ Trerpo^ekihovL 33 I found them also 
nesting in the Kyrenia Pass along with the House-Martin.
