Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
I have thought it best to incorporate in this—the third 
and last instalment of my paper such of Schrader’s notes as 
can conveniently be included, and have added short parti¬ 
culars of the few species for the addition of which to the 
Cypriote list he is solely responsible, and which would in 
ordinary sequence have appeared in the two prior parts. 
The remarks in Schrader’s paper, which are interesting 
and useful, do not bear evidence of close accuracy, but 
contain several obvious mistakes and a certain amount of 
information the correctness of which I am inclined to doubt. 
776. Phalacrocorax carbo (Linn.). 
Sibthorp included the Cormorant in his list as Pelecanus 
carbo and it reappears in Unger and Kotschy’s as Carbo 
Cormoranus Meyer. Schrader states that it sometimes 
appears in winter. 
No specimens were obtained by Lord Lilford or his col¬ 
lectors, though Guillemard mentions “ a pair of Cormorants ” 
which he watched through his telescope off Cape Gata. Lord 
Lilford was inclined to think that the Shag was the only 
species of this genus to be found in Cyprus, but Madarasz 
rightly points out that the Cormorant is not an improbable 
winter visitor. The only specimen obtained up to the 
present of which I am aware is a female taken by Glaszner 
on November 16th, 1902, near Larnaca and despatched to 
Madarasz. Horsbrugh and I saw an old male on the wing 
close to the pier at Limassol on February 8th, 1910, and 
two days later Horsbrugh noticed four or five at Cape Gata. 
781. Phalacrocorax graculus (Linn.). 
The Shag is a resident and breeds, though not in any large 
numbers, in a few suitable places round the coast. It is 
sometimes seen on the fresh-water reservoirs. 
Lord Lilford occasionally observed it in pairs or singly 
off the south coast in April or May, 1875, and through Guil¬ 
lemard received from Capt. (now Sir Arthur) Young—then 
Commissioner of Famagusta—in January 1889, an immature 
specimen. I heard of it near Kyrenia at the end of October 
1908, from Major Bolton, Commissioner of that District;
