Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
by Glaszner. Horsbrugh shot a male on March 23rcl at 
Acheritou, and Mr. Baxendale sent me another killed on 
April the 18th (1909) at Papho. I suppose that it is a visitor 
on the migrations, and perhaps winters in the island. 
323. Anthus campestris (Linn.). 
The only record of the Tawny Pipit from Cyprus with 
which I am acquainted is that of a specimen shot near 
Larnaca by Lord Lilford on April the 16th, 1875. It is 
possibly a resident. 
In concluding this very inadequate account of the Pipits, 
I can only add that, though my recollection is full of 
remembrances of seeing Pipits in many places in the island, 
my note-book is practically blank regarding them, an 
omission which I shall endeavour to rectify. 
330. Pycnonotus xanthopygus (Hempr. & Ehr.). 
The only record of the Palestine Bulbul hitherto is that of 
Guillemard, who, in mid-April 1887, observed near Larnaca 
at close quarters a specimen of what he was satisfied was 
this species. It does not seem to have been met with by any 
other observer. I have found it a regular but not abundant 
visitor in spring, arriving about the beginning of May and 
staying, according to my observation, only about three weeks, 
my first date being April 30th and my last May 22nd. 
I have frequently seen three individuals together in my 
garden at Nicosia, and Horsbrugh and I this spring (1909) 
noticed them there from April the 30th to May the 18th. 
Mr. G. Wilson also saw the bird on May the 5th, 1909, in two 
localities close to the capital. I have seen it in captivity 
once in the island, but on enquiry heard that the specimen 
came from Smyrna. It is no doubt also an autumn migrant. 
335. Oriolus galbula Linn. 
The Golden Oriole is a fairly common visitor in spring 
and autumn. It was noticed by Sibthorp as not uncommon. 
Lord Lilford was surprised at observing it only once. 
Muller mentions three spring specimens ; and Guillemard,
