Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
of the Cyprian Scops Owl: one of six from the side of a deep- 
walled well and another from a hole in an unused building. 
709. Aluco flammeus (Linn.). 
Strix flcimmea, B. O. U. List, p. 85. 
There is no doubt, now, that the Barn-Owl is a resident, 
as we obtained at Larnaca a female and three young alive 
on May 2nd, 1910, and I took a clutch of three fresh eggs 
from a hole in a cliff near Nicosia on March 18th, 1911. 
We obtained other specimens of the bird in January, 
May, and September. 
718. Circus swainsoni Smith. 
The Pallid Harrier is quite common : in the first week of 
April 1910 there was quite a large migration, and Horsbrugh 
obtained several examples; the crop of one contained a 
Little Owl. 
721. Buteo vulgaris Leach. 
Horsbrugh shot a female on the 21st of March, 1910, at 
Kouklia reservoir : its crop contained a small snake and 
some lizards and scorpions. 
730. IIieraetus fasciatus (Vieilh). 
I had a pair of eggs of Bonelli’s Eagle sent to me 
by Mr. B. L. Michell of Limassol. They were highly 
incubated, but proved amenable to strong caustic potash ; 
they were taken in the Troodos range on February 12th, 
1911, and each measured 2*7 x2‘l inches. 
735. Aquila heliaca Savigny. 
We were lucky enough to obtain several specimens of the 
Imperial Eagle in different parts of the island : one, a fine 
male, was knocked over, whilst feeding on a dead sheep, by 
a stone thrown by a peasant, and brought alive to Horsbrugh 
at Larnaca. 
739. Haliaetus albicilla (Linn.). 
Mr. Baxendale shot a large immature male on Novem¬ 
ber 16th, 1910, feeding on carrion not far from Famagusta. 
This is the first specimen of the White-tailed Eagle 
actually obtained in the island.
