Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
far from Famagusta; Glaszner sent three males to Madarasz 
from the Troodos range, two taken on February 20th, and 
the third on September 29th, 1902. Miss Bate states that 
this species evidently arrives in the island about the end of 
October, as she first saw it at that time both in 1901 and 1902; 
she found it not at all uncommon in winter on the lower slopes 
of the northern mountains, met with it also in the Larnaca 
district, and once near Paplio on the 23rd of March, the 
latest spring date on which it was observed by her. 
I do not feel justified in adding to the above any confident 
remark, except that Mr. Baxendale, Horsbrugh, and I 
consider that we have obtained specimens in April of this 
year. 
63. Saxicola isabellina Riipp. 
The Isabelline Wheatear is another Chat which so far 
appears to be a visitor on the spring and autumn migrations. 
Lord Lilford regarded it as very local, but not uncommon 
in March and April in the Famagusta district, and he and 
his collectors obtained specimens. Muller records four— 
adults of both sexes—taken in spring, and Glaszner sent one 
male to Madarasz, captured near Larnaca on August the 14th, 
1901. I am not able, at present, to add to the foregoing 
records any observations which I should care to be regarded 
as undoubtedly correct. 
66. Pratincola rubetra (Linn.). 
The Whinchat appears to be a visitor on its spriug and 
autumn migrations, and to be not at all common. Lord 
Lilford did not see it, but Guillemard obtained two males in 
April and May 1887, in the northern hills at Akanthou and 
near Larnaca respectively; Glaszner sent a young bird to 
Madarasz, taken near the latter place on September the 23rd, 
1901, and Mr. Baxendale sent me a male shot at Paplio on 
the 2nd of April, 1909. 
69. Pratincola rubicola (Linn.). 
The Stonechat appears to be a tolerably abundant winter 
visitor. Lord Lilford found it not uncommon in the open
