Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
I bought a male and two females in the Larnaca market 
on November the 6th, 1908 ; Mr. Nicolls shot a male at 
Acheritou in mid-February, 1909, and from the 23rd of 
March till the 2nd of April, when he left the neighbourhood, 
Horsbrugh saw quite a number on the Acheritou and 
Kouklia reservoirs, chiefly in pairs ; he counted about 
fifteen couples at the former place and six pairs at the 
latter, and obtained several birds on both sheets of water. 
We have shot several specimens this winter (1909-1910).

Guillemard seems only to have met with the White-eyed 
Duck once, when he obtained it in Kouklia marsh in the 
beginning of March 1888, apparently at the same time as 
the preceding species. It is, however, evidently not un¬ 
common, as we obtained several specimens during the 
winter ; a female bought in the Famagusta market on 
January 19th ; a female shot by Mr. A. Douglas at 
Acheritou on the 21st; a pair shot by Mr. Nicolls at 
Acheritou on the 23rd ; a female bought in the Famagusta 
market on February 1st; and a male was seen by Horsbrugh 
at Limassol salt-lake on February 5th, 1910. We shot 
both varieties of the female.

I am pleased to be able to add the Golden-Eve to the 
list of the Ducks of Cyprus. 
Horsbrugh obtained a female at Kouklia reservoir on 
April 9th, 1909. It appeared to be in transition plumage, 
and at first puzzled us, but was subsequently identified by 
the late Dr. Bowdler Sharpe. 
869. OEdemia nigra (Linn). 
At the end of March 1888, Guillemard saw a Scoter, 
which he was almost certain was of this species, near the 
sea not far from Famagusta. Madarasz, however, considers 
that it was probably the Velvet Scoter ((Edemia fused). 
On February 7th, 1908, I saw three Scoters at the mouth 
of a small river near Papho, but they were too wary for
