A GLOSSARY OF GREEK BIRDS 



(continued}. 



and Wimmer take the three birds to be different species of Wagtail 

 (Motacilla). The name more strongly suggests to me the Dipper, 

 Cinclus aquattcus, L., (Mod. Gk. vepoKoo-o-vcpos, Heldr.): but all three 

 birds are quite doubtful.

 a kind of Pigeon.

Arist. H. A. viii. 3, 592 b opvis a-KO)\r]Ko(pdyos. Sundevall, op. c., p. II I, 

 identifies nvppovXas with the Robin, the Bullfinch being a seed-eater,

 Mod. Gk.
