Ornithology of Cyprus. 
1028. ^Egialitis cantiana (Lath.). 
The Kentish Plover was first noticed by Lord Lilford* 
who found it more or less abundant and states that it breeds 
in Cyprus. Schrader wrote of it as an uncommon winter 
visitor. Guillemard met with it at the end of April near 
Famagusta, and Glaszner sent to Madarasz three examples 
taken in January and March. Horsbrugh obtained a speci¬ 
men at Acheritou on April the 9th, 1909, and Mr. Baxendale 
another at Famagusta on January the 12th, 1910. 
Lord Lilford thought that this species was perhaps more 
abundant than either of the two following. It is probably 
a resident. 
1029. .ZEgialitis hiaticola (Linn.). 
The Ringed Plover was included by Sibthorp in his list, 
and Lord Lilford found it at the time of his visit more or 
less frequently. Schrader speaks of it as a winter visitor. 
Guillemard met with this species at the Limassol salt-lake 
in early March, near Famagusta at the end of April, and 
near Larnaca at the end of January. Glaszner has taken it 
in the latter month, and also in September. 
Horsbrugh obtained it at the reservoirs at the end of 
March, and he and Mr. Baxendale shot several in the Papho 
district between the 19th and 24th of May, 1909, It is a 
spring and autumn migrant and a winter visitor. 
1032. iEGiALiTis curonica (Gmel.). 
Lord Lilford discovered the Little Ringed Plover more or 
less frequently during his visit, and Muller records an adult 
male obtained in spring. Guillemard met with it at the 
Limassol salt-lake in early March, and on the 26th of April 
near Famagusta. Glaszner sent Madarasz specimens 
obtained near Larnaca in March and April. Mr. Baxendale 
obtained the bird at Papho in May 1909. It is certainly a 
visitor on its migrations, and perhaps a partial resident. 
1035. Eudromias morinellus (Linn.). 
I am pleased to be able to add the Dotterel to the Cypriote 
list. I bought a single female along with five Golden Plovers
