Ornithology of Cyprus. 
Commissioner of Famagusta, and Glaszner sent a female to 
Madarasz taken near Larnaca on April the 20th, 1903. I 
have no knowledge of any other occurrences, but assume that 
the bird is an occasional spring and autumn migrant.

Lord Lilford met with the Green Sandpiper frequently, on 
muddy ground, in April and May. Guillemard mentions 
obtaining a specimen towards the end of February, 1887, 
near Famagusta, and, according to Lord Lilford, brought 
back others shot in March on both his visits. Mr. G. F. 
Wilson shot a male at Pyroi on September the 26th, 1910. 
It is, no doubt, only a visitor on migration and in winter. 
1091. Totanus glareola (Gmel.). 
Lord Lilford found the Wood Sandpiper common in May, 
particularly near Limassol, and observed a pair which he was 
convinced had a nest. Schrader mentions meeting with it 
in January and speaks of it as common. Guillemard does 
not mention it in his ‘ Ibis 3 papers, but either he or Pearse 
seems from Lord Lilford’s account to have obtained it. 
Glaszner sent Madarasz two specimens taken in early April 
near Larnaca, and Horsbrugh obtained a female near Papho 
on May the 20th, 1909. I am inclined to think that this 
species is only a visitor in winter and on the migrations. 
1092. Totanus hypoleucus (Linn.). 
Tringoides hypoleucus , B. O. U. List, p. 173, 
Lord Lilford found the Summer Snipe or Common Sand¬ 
piper very frequently in April and May on almost all parts 
of the coast visited by him. Guillemard does not refer to it, 
but he or Pearse seems to have obtained the bird. Glaszner 
does not appear to have sent it to Madarasz. Mr. Baxendale, 
Horsbrugh and I have met with it fairly often. I obtained a 
male at Acheritou on January the 15th, 1908; Mr. Baxendale 
another at Papho on October the 11th ; from May the 2nd 
to May the 20th, 1909, we obtained several specimens both 
near Nicosia and in the Papho district. It is probably only a 
visitor on the migrations and in winter.
