Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
Although, of course, easily confused with D. luscinia, and 
more easily overlooked, I can only say that of the dozen or 
so specimens of Nightingales which I have handled in Cyprus 
none belonged to the Eastern species. But it is evidently, 
at any rate, a migrant in spring and autumn. One of the 
specimens sent to Madarasz was an. extremely dark variety. 
109. Sylvia nisoriy (Bechst.). 
The Barred Warbler is another of Glaszner* s discoveries, 
he having sent two young (male and female) specimens to 
Madarasz. They were in autumn plumage, and were taken 
on August 28th and September 12th. 
110. Sylvia cinerea Lath. 
The Whitethroat is a visitor on migration, arriving towards 
the end of March and passing on by the end of April. A few 
pairs remain and breed in the hills. The return passage takes 
place about October. It was taken by Sibthorp on April 4th, 
having alighted on his vessel; Lord Lilford obtained a female 
near Larnaca on April the 21st, 1875; Guillemard two females 
in the Famagusta district on March the 26th, 1888 ; Glaszner 
sent Madarasz a specimen taken near Larnaca on October the 
13th, 1901. Mr. Baxendale, Horsbrugh, and I found the 
Whitethroat not uncommon towards the end of March and 
beginning of April 1909; and Horsbrugh came across it again 
in the lower hills of the Southern range, and obtained on 
the 9th of that month, at Kambos, a nest with four eggs. 
111. Sylvia curruca (Linn.). 
The Lesser Whitethroat is a common visitor on migration, 
arriving and departing about the same time as the preceding 
species. Lord Lilford found it common in the low country 
near water in April; two of Guillemard’s specimens were 
taken on March the 21st and 29th ; Glaszner sent Madarasz 
a number of skins from various localities, the birds being 
taken in March, April, September, and October. 
Mr. Baxendale, Horsbrugh, and I found this species common 
in company with S. cinerea , but did not discover it breeding.
