A very doubtful passage, cf. Billerbeck, De loc. nonnull. Arist. H. A. 

 difficilior., Hildesh. 1806. Sundevall, following Turner, Gesner, &c., 

 identifies ndpdaXos with the Golden Plover, Charadrius pluvialis, L., 

 which is frequent in flocks in Greece, and has a constant cry, and is 

 about as large as rpvy&v : in the name he sees a suggestion of the 

 dappled plumage, in spite of o-rroSoetS^? o\os. Billerbeck, following 

 Aldrovandi, &c., identifies it with the Starling, for similar and equally 

 good reasons. Vide supra, s. v. jAaXcucoKpaKeu's.

 white ; vide Suid. s. v. rreXapyidcls, ed. Bernhardy; Zonarus, p. 1528 ; 

 Pott. Etym. Forsch. i. p. 131 ; cf. vfjes TreXapyo'xpojres-, Lycophr.

The Stork, Ciconia alba, L. Mod. Gk. XeXeiu, XeXe/ca?, sometimes 

 said to be a Turkish word ; but Byzantios ingeniously compares 



XeXe'fa = TreXapydf with Ae'Xeyes = IIeXao-yo t ' : cf. also XdXttYCS. 



Mentioned in Ar. Av. 1 139, with a pun on ro HehapyiKov ; cf. ibid. 869.
