Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
month. It appears to have been first noticed by Lord Lilford, 
who saw only a few, but Muller suggests that this species 
was probably intended by the “ Scolopax cyprius ” mentioned 
in Sibthorp's list and copied by Unger and Kotschv, though 
for my own part I consider that the Romaic name 
“ T poXovpiSa U}? 6a\dcro-r)$ ” given by Sibthorp certainly 
does not refer to this bird, but more probably to Sandpipers 
generally. The proportion of Jack to Common Snipe which 
is obtained when shooting varies very much: on November 
the 16th, 1907, out of twenty-nine birds no less than twenty 
were Jacks ; on January the 26th, 1908, out of ninty-nine 
there was not one; on December the 7th, 1908, out of 
seventeen only two. 
1065, Tringa alpina Linn. 
The Dunlin was in Sibthorp’s list. Lord Lilford found it 
in small numbers on the sandy shores near Famagusta and 
Limassol in April and May. Schrader states that it is a 
winter visitor. Guillemard obtained it near Famagusta in 
the middle of May, 1888, and Glaszner sent six examples to 
Madarasz, obtained near Larnaca in September, November, 
and December. It is a spring and autumn migrant and 
winter visitor. 
1067. Tringa mintjta Leisl. 
The Little Stint is a visitor on its spring and autumn 
migrations and probably a few birds remain in the island in 
the winter. Schrader refers to it as a winter visitor ; Pearse 
obtained a female at Larnaca on October the 1st, 1878; 
Muller records three adult males procured on January the 
4th, February the 9th, and February the 23rd; Guillemard 
took one near Famagusta on May the 21st, 1888; Glaszner 
a female near Larnaca on October the 28th, 1901; Mr. Baxen- 
dale and Horsbrugh each shot a specimen near Kouklia 
(Papho district) on May the 23rd, 1909; and Mr. G. F. 
Wilson shot two males and one female on October the 10th 
in the same year near Nicosia. 
1072. Tringa subarquata (Giild.). 
The Curlew Sandpiper or Pigmy Curlew was one of Unger 
and Kotschy’s additions to Sibthorp’s list, but was possibly
