745. Astur palumbarius (Linn.). 
It is satisfactory to be able to remove any doubt as to 
the occurrence of the Goshawk in Cyprus. When shooting 
in a thick fir wood near Asprokremno, on Troodos, on the 
opening day of the season last year (August 12th), Mr. FT. 
AlcLaughlan, who was with me, shot a fine immatnre male. 
To make certain of its identity I sent it to Mr. Nicoll. 
756. Pernis apivorus (Linn.). 
Air. G. F. Wilson shot a fine Honey-Buzzard near Nicosia 
on September 18th, 1910. 
765. Falco punicus Levaill. 
The Lesser Peregrine was found nesting on the Elides 
Islands by Air. Baxendale, who discovered an eyrie with 
two young birds and an unfertile egg on a ledge of rock 
with an overhanging top : the nestlings were white with 
white legs and pale bluish bills; they were lying on the 
bare rock, and the old birds were both close by. One nestling 
was much bigger than the other, and the two parents were 
considerably different in size. The egg measured 2’06 x 
F547 inches. 
770. Falco eleonorjs Gene. 
The Rev. J. Smale kindly gave to me a fine male specimen 
of La Marmora’s Falcon, which he had shot on Troodos on 
August 6th, 1909. 
771. Falco vespertinus Linn. 
Tinnuncnlus vespertinus Gray, B. O. U. List, p. 103. 
We find that the Red-footed Falcon is a regular visitor in 
spring and autumn. Large parties, consisting of from a 
dozen to over a hundred birds, appeared at the end of April 
and beginning of May 1910, and we noticed a good many at 
the beginning of September and end of October of the 
same year—mostly young birds. We obtained numerous 
examples. 
776. Phalacrocorax carbo (Linn.). 
Mr. Baxendale bought a male Cormorant from a native 
gunner at Famagusta on December 22nd, 1910.
