but the Linnet), Fringilla flaveola (without doubt, both from 
the Greek name and description which he gives, the Black¬ 
headed Bunting); the Pied and Spotted Flycatchers; the 
Nightingale, Blackcap, Willow-Wren, Wheatear, Motacilla 
ficedula and M. alba (perhaps the Pied and White Wagtails), 
and also M. flava; the Coal Titmouse, Swallow, House- 
Martin, Swift, White-bellied Swift, Common Pratincole, and 
Nightjar. He also found two species of Loxia —probably 
the Crossbill—on the northern mountains. 
For seventy odd years after Dr. Sibthorp’s visit no further 
ornithological publication of any importance relative to the 
island appeared, though several visitors refer to the abundance 
of game. 
In 1863 a party of sportsmen paid a visit to Cyprus, their 
account being published some years later in the f Temple Bar 
Magazine 9 ; amongst their bag they included a few Bustards. 
In 1865 appeared at Vienna the important work f Die 
Insel Cypern/ by Drs. F. Unger and Th. Kotschy. A list 
of birds forms part of Appendix IX., which purports to be 
founded on Sibthorp’s journals, coupled with the personal 
observations of Dr. Kotschy ; it is, however, scarcely 
more than a copy of Dr. Sibthorp’s catalogue. The authors 
mention—excluding domesticated birds—-eighty-four species, 
and their additions to Sibthorp’s list include only the 
Egyptian Vulture, Sitta syriaca, the Bosy Pastor, the Grey¬ 
lag Goose, a Woodpecker (unidentified), the Great Shearwater, 
the Marsh- and Curlew-Sandpipers, and the Great Snipe. It 
is, perhaps, noteworthy that the occurrences of this Vulture, 
the Nuthatch, and a Woodpecker have not been confirmed 
by subsequent observers. The writers identify three of 
Sibthorp’s unknown Hawks as the Peregrine, Goshawk, and 
Sparrow-Hawk, and, as far as can be seen, without good 
reason, omit from the former’s list the Redshank, Grey Plover, 
Bock-Dove, Common Snipe, Manx Shearwater, and White 
Wagtail, though possibly perhaps some of their alterations 
may be due to their change of his scientific nomenclature. 
In fact, though frequently referred to in later publications 
as the basis of Cypriote ornithology, their list is little, if at
