In these mythical stories, with which compare Physiol. Syr. xv 

 (volucris tota alba, nee ulla in ea nigredo est : reperitur in regum 

 palatiis), Epiphan. in Physiol. xxiii, Eust. Hex. p. 32, Bochart, ii. p. 340, 

 we have to do with eastern tales of the Stork, Heb. chasad (Lev. xi. 19, 

 Deut. xiv. 1 8) arising from a confusion of names. 



In Babr. Ixxxii (Ixxxviii, W. G. R.) Cod. Ath. has x a P a &P l s f r 

 daXXos : the word is here perhaps a corrupt connexion of 

 It. calandra, which occurs in Dion. De Avib. iii. 15. Cf. W. H. 

 Thompson's note on Plat. Gorg. I.e. 



XEIAfTNEX* TCOV d\(KTpv6v<*v nves, Hesych. Cf. s. v. icdXXwy. 



XEAIAH'N. Etymology very doubtful. Cf. Lat. hirundo, Sp. golon- 

 drina, &c. Supposed by some to be from Sk. rt. har, ' to catch 

 or seize,' cf. Lat. hir-udo, a view somewhat akin to one much 

 older, Isid. Orig. xii. 7 hirundo dicta est, quod cibos non sumat 

 residens, sed in acre rapiat escas et edat. 



A Swallow. The Chimney Swallow, Hirundo rustica, and the 

 House Martin, H. urbica. Mod. Gk. xeXtdovi. See also s. vv.
