Note.— Ciracs cyancus, L. ( P —Falco pygargus, L.), the Hen-harrier 

 or Ring-tail, is now called irvyapyas in the Cyclades (Erhard, op. cit. 

 p. 47). To it much of the description given is applicable, but certainly 

 not the epithet v(^po<^6voi. Sundevall imagines the Golden Eagle to 

 be meant, Gloger and others the White-tailed Eagle or Erne, Haliaeius 

 albicilla (L.), to which latter the description in Aesch. Ag. 115 6 e^owiv 

 dpyias, seems to apply : but these are surely excluded by the evidence 

 as to size (cf. Pliny, 1. c), frequency, and affection for cities and plains. 

 I incline to identify the bird with the Short-toed Eagle, Circaetus 

 gallictis, which in French, as perhaps also here, seems to share its 

 popular name (Jean-le-Blanc) with C. cyancus. But the name was 

 originally mystical (cf. s.v, p-eXdixTruyos), however it may in later times 

 have been specifically applied to a particular bird. 



riYTAProi, p. An undetermined bird. 



Arist. H. A. viii. 3, 593 b. A water-bird, mentioned with (txoiv'iXo^ 

 and Ki-yKXos-, about the size of a thrush ; to ovpalov Kive'i : frequents rivers 

 and streams. 



The size agrees with Sundevall's suggestion of a Sandpiper, Aubert
