across this species, but it would appear to be a summer 
visitor, though occurring chiefly at the spring and autumn 
migrations.

Lord Lilford doubtfully included the Great Reed-Warbler 
in his list on the strength of the remains of what was 
considered to be a specimen of the bird found in the 
stomach of a Viper sent to him by Pearse. 
It was not met with by Guillemard, but Glaszner sent eight 
specimens to Madardsz, obtained near Larnaca in September, 
October, and November. Mr. Baxendale informs me that 
he believes that this species occurs at the end of March 
near Papho, and there are a few suitable localities in that 
neighbourhood where it is possible it might nest. However, 
so far, it is only known to us as a visitor on the spring and 
autumn migrations.

Guillemard met with and obtained the Sedge-Warbler near 
Larnaca salt-lake in the early half of April 1887 ; and 
Lord Lilford states that the only specimens in his Cyprus 
collection were two collected by Guillemard and dated, from 
near Larnaca, as of May the 20th of that year, though it may 
be remarked that on that day Guillemard was at another 
Larnaca close to Kyrenia on the other side of the island. 
Apparently the bird was not taken by Glaszner, nor have I 
observed it ; but Horsbrugh came across a few individuals 
near the Acheritou reservoir in early April, though, as he 
did not obtain a specimen, the identification is not so 
satisfactory as would otherwise have been the case. 
193. Locustella luscinioides (Savi). 
Lord Lilford shot a single specimen not far from Larnaca 
on April 21st, 1875. I shot a male on some reedy banks of 
a small watercourse at Nicosia on April the 13th, 1909. I 
know of no other records. Until the reed-beds which exist
