Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
10.28. iEGIALITIS CANTIANA (Lath.). 
The Kentish Plover nested in considerable numbers on 
the margins of the freshwater lake in early June 1910 and 
in May 1911, and Mr. Baxendale obtained several clutches 
of eggs. 
1032. -ZEgialitis curonica (Gmel.). 
Mr. Baxendale found the Little Ringed Plover nesting 
at the freshwater lake near Famagusta this spring, and 
obtained eggs in early May. 
1046. Recurvirostra avocetta Linn. 
Mr. J. W. Ansell obtained a single Avocet on November 
28th, 1910, at the Larnaca Salt Lake. 
1047. Himantopus candidus Bonnat. 
The Black-winged Stilt remained in small numbers 
throughout the summer of 1910 at Kouklia reservoir 
and the Larnaca lakes, and though we did not obtain 
the eggs, I have no doubt that it nested in both places. We 
obtained juvenile specimens in the former locality on 
September 1st. 
1050. Scolopax rusticula Linn. 
The winter 1910-1911 was a famous one for Woodcock : 
one party shot forty in two days, and twenty-six were 
obtained in one wood on February 12th, 1911. 
1052. Gallinago major (Gmel.). 
Mr. Baxendale shot a female Great Snipe near Fama¬ 
gusta on May 6th, 1910, and a very heavy male at the 
freshwater lake on April 26th, 1911. 
1067. Tringa minuta Leisl. 
We obtained a good many Little Stints in May and 
October. 
1072. Tringa subarquata (Giild.). 
The Curlew Sandpiper was quite common in the winter 
on the coast near Famagusta, where Mr. Baxendale shot a 
number of these birds. They are quite good on the table.
