1 Aristotle's groups of Birds are as follows: (1) ya/jL-^rnvvx^s 

 (crooked-clawed) ; (2) aKu>\rjKo(puya (worm-eating) ; (3) d<av- 

 doepdya (eating thistle seeds); (4) a-mnocpdya (? grub-eating) ; 

 (5) -rr(pi(TTepoei8i] (dove-like) ; (6) o-^i^o7roSa (cleft-footed) ; 

 (7) crrryavoTroSa (wholly webbed) ; (8) /3apea (heavy, i.e. ground 

 kinds). A few Birds, however, can hardly be placed under any 

 of these.
