Etymology doubtful : according to Curtius, from rt. gar, to cry. 

 Cf. Utih.garny, Bret, garan, O. H. G. chranuh, Germ. Kranich, Kran, 

 Armen. Kt'unk, Eng. crane: without the n in L. gwts, Lith. ger-ve, 

 O. SI. geraixf, Russ. zurawl (v. Edl., &c.). 



The Crane. Ardea grus, L., Grus cinereus, auctt. Mod. Gk. 

 yepavos, ytpdv (Heldr.). The Crane is in Greece a bird of pas- 

 sage only, chiefly seen on its journey northward in the spring 

 (cf. Strab. i. 2. 28): it breeds further north, in Macedonia (hence 

 grues Strymomae, Virgil, Seneca, Martial, Claudian, &c. ; s. Bis- 

 toniae, Antip. Sidon. cv, Lucan, &c.) and on the Danube (Kriiper, 

 p. 267). In Horn, yepavos doubtless includes the Stork also, the 

 latter bird not being mentioned, though equally common in the 

 Troad (Schliemann, Ilios, p. 113).
