Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
October. Lord Lilford found it exceedingly abundant; 
Muller mentions ten specimens and nine clutches of eggs 
taken between April the 21st and June the 4th ; Guillemard 
calls it “ ubiquitous - ”; Glaszner sent Madarasz a series taken 
in March, April, September and October. Mr. Baxendale 
noted its arrival at Papho in the third week in March (1909), 
and Horsbrugh and I found it in plenty and obtained speci¬ 
mens in various localities from the 21st of that month until 
our departure from the island in J une. Mr. Baxendale came 
across it nesting at the end of May (1909) near Papho on 
the foothills of the Troodos mountains, a usual locality in 
which to find it. 
533. Emberiza schceniclus Linn. 
Guillemard shot a female Heed Bunting on the 13th of 
February, 1888, near Famagusta. This is the only record of 
which I am aware. It would be only a winter visitor. 
535. Subsp. Emberiza pyrrhuloides Pall. 
The form of Emberiza schoeniclus known as the Large¬ 
billed Reed-Bunting owes its inclusion in the Cyprus list to 
Muller, who records, amongst the specimens sent to Schliiter, 
a juvenile male, taken on November the 13th. As Madarasz 
points out, this bird, assuming the record to be substantially 
correct, is more likely to have belonged to the form 
E. schceniclus palustr is found in Spain, Italy, and elsewhere, 
than to the subspecies named above. 
549. Melanocorypiia calandra (Linn.). 
The Calandra Lark was observed bv Sibthorp, wFo thought 
that it was probably a resident. Lord Lilford found it very 
common in the open country, and states that it breeds and 
is no doubt a permanent resident in the Island. Guillemard, 
who noticed a few in cages for sale in February, found a 
nest at Lefkoniko (Karpas district) with eggs—hard-set— 
at the end of April. Glaszner sent a few specimens to 
Madarasz taken in March, April, and May. From my own 
observation I should say that in Cyprus it is not a very 
common breeding species, but is in the main a winter
