Ornithology of Cyprus.

January. On the 16th of November, 1907, I came across a 
party of four in some rough swampy ground near Kouklia 
reservoir and shot a splendid old male. In late March of 
this year (1909) Horsbrugh met with several at the Acheritou 
and Kouklia reservoirs, but did not obtain a specimen. 
717. Circus cineraceus (Montagu). 
Montagu’s Harrier was added to the Cyprus list by the 
industry of Glaszner, who sent a single specimen to Madarasz 
taken on September 5th, 1901, near Larnaca. I know of 
no other local record. It is probably only a visitor on 
migration and perhaps in winter. 
718. Circus swainsoni Smith. 
The Pallid Harrier is not very uncommon and my remarks 
upon the Marsh Harrier might apply to its distribution 
and appearance. 
Lord Lilford had very little doubt that a grey Harrier 
which he observed several times near Famagusta belonged 
to this species, but the first definite record was a specimen 
— presumed to be a male in first year's plumage—sent to him 
by Pearse, who obtained it on November the 2nd, 1878, at 
Larnaca; Muller refers to an adult male taken on February 
the 16th ; Guillemard shot another adult male near Limassol 
on March the 25th, 1887 ; Glaszner sent to Madarasz four 
collected in September, October, and November. 
Horsbrugh came across one or two examples at the reser¬ 
voirs at the end of March, 1909, and obtained a fine male at 
Limnia near Salamis on April the 4th, while on the 12th he 
and I saw another at Athalassa at quite close quarters. 
719. Circus cyaneus (Linn.). 
The Hen-Harrier is another of Glaszner's additions to the 
list, he having sent Madarasz three—a male specimen taken 
on February the 1st and two females shot on October the 
29th and November the 5th—all near Larnaca. 
We did not obtain any specimens of this Harrier, but 
Horsbrugh thought that he saw two or three at the end of 
March and beginning of April near the reservoirs.
