Ornithology of Cyprus. 577 
Reed-Bunting, Glossy Ibis, Spoonbill, Teal, and Tufted Duck. 
He also records the eggs of many interesting species which had 
not previously been noticed nesting in the island, amongst 
them being the Red-legged Falcon, Great Spotted Cuckoo, 
Reed-Warbler, Quail, and Yellow-legged Herring-Gull. 
In the 4 Zeitschrift fur die gesammte Ornithologie,' i. p. 397 
(1884), E. F. von Homeyer described as Saxicola cypriaca a 
form of Saxicola morio found in Cyprus. 
In 1887, Dr. F. H. H. Guillemard visited Cyprus under 
the auspices of Lord Lilford, and made a somewhat extensive 
tour of the island. He stayed there from Feb. 22nd till 
June 30th and formed a considerable collection of birds and 
eggs. Dr. Guillemard paid a second visit from Nov. 30th, 
1887, to the beginning of June, 1888, during which period 
he largely increased his former acquisitions. 
Accounts of these two journeys were published by him in 
two papers in ‘ The Ibis'—the first, entitled “ Ornithological 
Notes of a Tour in Cyprus in 1887/’ appearing in Jan. 1888, 
and the second, “ Cyprus and its Birds in 1888/' in April 
1889. 
Guillemard's work on these two expeditions was of the 
utmost importance, as, besides obtaining examples of the 
majority of species hitherto locally recorded, he added to 
the list many others not or only doubtfully identified before. 
Amongst these may be mentioned the Black Vulture, the 
Imperial and Bonelli's Eagles, the Masked Shrike, a Dipper 
(which he did not secure), the Palestine Bulbul, the Mistletoe- 
Thrush, White-spotted Bluethroat, Ehrenberg's Redstart, 
Whinchat, Sedge-Warbler, Subalpine Warbler, Ruppell's 
Warbler, Wren, Tree-creeper, Reed - Bunting, Chaffinch, 
Hawfinch, and Greenfinch; he discovered, or perhaps re¬ 
discovered, the Crossbill; he also found Sturnuspurpurascens, 
the Pallid Swift, Pied Kingfisher, Little Crake, Mgialitis 
geoffroyij Lapwing, Golden Plover, Bittern, Mute Swan, 
Ruddy and Common Sheldrakes, the Gad wall, Shoveler, 
Pintail, Wigeon, Pochard, and White-eyed Duck, the Scoter, 
Pelicans (both Pelecanus crispus and P. onocrotalus) , the 
Black Tern, Little Gull, and Little Grebe.
