Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
and Guillemard in January: Glaszner has taken it on the 
Troodos range in September and October. 
Personally, I have had it under constant observation in 
Nicosia from October the 13th to March the 9th, but I have 
seldom seen more than half a dozen at a time near the water- 
tanks, pools, and open aqueducts which it frequents. 
305. Motacxlla flava Linn. 
The Blue-headed Wagtail is a common spring and autumn 
visitor, arriving towards the end of March, leaving towards 
the end of May, and returning on passage in early 
October. It is mentioned by Sibthorp, Lord Lilford found 
it common in ail moist places in April and May, Guillemard 
obtained it on March the 20th, and Glaszner on October 
the 6th. Mr. Baxendale, Horsbrugh, and I found it 
frequently in many localities from March the 26th to May 
the 24th, and shot several examples. 
307. Motacilla melanocephala Licht, 
The Black-headed Wagtail is a common spring and autumn 
migrant, arriving and leaving much about the same time 
as the preceding species. Lord Lilford found it common in 
May in similar localities to those which M. flava frequents, 
Muller mentions a specimen received by Schliiter which, was 
taken in spring, and Glaszner has obtained it at the end of 
March. 
Horsbrugh and I found it quite abundant in many localities 
from the end of March till about the end of April, often 
consorting in small flocks of thirty or more with M. flava . 
We obtained a number of specimens. 
313. Anthus pratensis (Linn.). 
The Meadow-Pipit or Titlark is at any rate a common 
visitor on the spring and autumn migrations, and a good 
many individuals are to be found in winter. I have no 
evidence that it nests in the island. Lord Lilford found it 
not uncommon in April near the coast; Pearse obtained it 
in November, Guillemard in January, February and March; 
Glaszner in November and February.
