Ornithology of Cyprus. 431 
I know of no other record, and in any case it is only likely 
to be a rare winter visitor. 
1158. Procellaria pelagica Linn. 
Glaszner sent to Madarasz a single male obtained near 
Larnaca on March the 13th, 1903. This is the only record 
I know of from Cypriote waters. 
1168. Subsp. Puffinus yelkouanus (Acerbi). 
Sibthorp includes in his list Procellaria puffinus, which 
is, of course, a Shearwater. Unger and Kotschv omit 
Sibthorp’s name, but insert Puffinus major Faber, which is 
the Great Shearwater. It is possible, however, that the 
later authors intended to refer to P. major Hewitson, nec 
Ternm., a synonym of P. kuhli Boie—the Mediterranean 
Shearwater. In any case the Shearwater referred to by 
Sibthorp no doubt belonged to the form P. yelkouanus. 
Lord Lilford noticed some numbers of a small Shearwater, 
which he did not definitely identify, off the west coast of 
Cyprus in May 1875, and, as Madarasz points out, these, 
without doubt, would be P. yelkouanus. 
[1169. Puffinus gravis (CPReilly). 
The Great Shearwater is undoubtedly referred to by 
Unger and Kotschy in their list as P. major Faber, but the 
name must be either a complete mistake or explicable as 
referable to the preceding species. The Great Shearwater 
has no business in Cyprus waters.] 
1171. Puffinus kuhli (Boie). 
The Mediterranean Shearwater was, possibly, incorrectly 
referred to in Unger and Kotschy’s list under the name 
P. major Faber. 
Lord Lilford observed a large Shearwater once or twice 
off the south coast of the island; there can be little doubt 
that it belonged to this species. 
1215. Podicipes auritus (Linn.). 
Sibthorp included this species in his list under the desig¬ 
nation Colymbus auritus , but, as that Linnsean name might
