Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
Larnaca and on the Troodos range : one in March, one in 
October, and two in September. Horsbrugh and I did not find 
the bird very common this spring (1909), but we noticed it 
and obtained specimens from the 13th to the 21st March; 
whilst Mr. Baxendale and Horsbrugh took a male at Papho 
as late as May the 21st. It appears to be a spring and 
autumn visitor, and I see no reason why it should not nest 
occasionally in the hills. 
84. Buticilla titys (Scop.). 
The Black Redstart appears to be only a winter visitor 
and fairly abundant, arriving at the beginning of November 
and leaving towards the end of March. 
Pearse sent Lord Lilford two females taken on November 
the 21st, 1878 ; Guillemard obtained specimens on March the 
11th, 1887, and January the 4th, 1888, near Larnaca and 
Limassol, at the latter locality finding the species l( not 
uncommon.” Glaszner sent a number to Madarasz from 
various localities taken in November, January, and February. 
Horsbrugh and I observed several this spring near Nicosia 
cn March the 18th. 
93. Cyanecula wolfi C. L. Brehm. 
The White-spotted Bluethroat appears to be a spring 
and autumn migrant, though it is possible that it may be a 
winter visitor. It has seldom been recorded. Guillemard 
found some, and shot an adult male amongst the reeds at the 
freshwater lake near Famagusta on February the 13th, 1888. 
Glaszner sent Madarasz four—two males and two females— 
taken near Larnaca in October 1901. 
95. Erithacus rubecula (Linn.). 
The Redbreast is a common winter visitor, arriving 
towards the end of October and leaving towards the end of 
March, my earliest record of its arrival being October the 25th 
and my latest of its departure March the 21st. It is well 
distributed over the island and a good many individuals 
can always be found in the larger gardens near the towns, 
whilst on the hills it is sometimes observed in great abundance.
