This word (ana^ Xeyofifvov) was translated by Gaza pi'/aris (quasi a 

 Bpi^), whence our modern name Turdtis pilan's, L., the Fieldfare. 

 The word survives in Mod. Gk. as raix^n, r^iyXa, T^//;^Xa, and is pos- 

 sibly the same as rpiKKOs, q. v. ; it is a parallel form to kixMj and is 

 the same as our thrush. [Cf. Lith. s-tmzd-as (Nessl. p. 506), Russ. 

 drosd', Icel. ti-ast, L. turdus, &c.]

The Egyptian Plover or Ziezac, Pluvianus aegypiius = Hyas 

 aegyptiaais ■=■ Charadriiis melanocephalus. Also called /cXaSnpd- 

 pvyxo%. This identification, due in the first instance to Geoffroy 

 St. Hilaire, is generally accepted : a recent writer, however, 

 states that the true ' Crocodile-bird ' is a somewhat larger species, 

 the spur-winged Plover, Hoploptenis spinosus (Ibis, 1893, p. 277).
