Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
species on April the 27th and again in August, 1877 ; Muller 
mentions an adult male taken in spring ; Guillemard came 
across the bird in early April 1888, near Larnaca, and at the 
end of that month near Famagusta; Glaszner sent Madarasz 
three examples obtained in the latter half of the same 
month. 
797. Ardea ralloides Scop. 
Lord Lilford found the Squacco Heron tolerably frequent 
during his visit; Schrader observed some on September 
the 11th, 1877 ; Muller records an adult pair taken in spring ; 
Guillemard met with the bird in precisely the same 
localities and on the same dates as the preceding species, 
and Glaszner sent two males to Madarasz taken near Larnaca 
on April the 10th and May the 6th. I received a male from 
Mr. Barrett shot at Athalassa near Nicosia on March the 
24th, 1909. Horsbrugh met with a few birds at Acheritou 
during his stay and obtained a male on the 9th and another 
on the 10th of April (1909). Mr. A. Douglas sent me a fine 
male, shot at the Acheritou reservoir, on May the 7th, and 
Mr. Baxendale came across two individuals near Papho 
about the same date. 
800. Nycticorax griseus (Linn.). 
The Night Heron was observed by Sibthorp. Lord Lilford 
did not think it very abundant, but saw it on several 
occasions and obtained it at Limassol. Schrader noticed 
it on March the 10th, but thought it rare. It does not appear 
to have been mentioned by Guillemard in his 4 Ibis 3 articles; 
but Glaszner sent to Madarasz four specimens taken near 
Larnaca in March, April, and May, and shewed me a male 
in his possession from the same neighbourhood. Horsbrugh 
obtained an immature male at Kouklia reservoir on April the 
9th, 1909; an adult male frequented the large tank (which 
contains many fishes) in my garden at Nicosia for some hours 
on April the 13th in the same year; Mr. Baxendale and 
Horsbrugh shot a very juvenile specimen on May the 23rd 
in some reed-beds near Paphos, and the former secured a 
fine young male out of a flock of six near the same place 
on October the 8th,
