Aquila 3 1 



the Chenerotes (which seem to me to get their name from 

 "love" 1 ) are either Bernicles, or the Geese of the Bass, or 

 are decidedly unknown to me. 



OF THE AQUILA. 



aero?, aquila, in English an eagle, in German ein arn, or 

 ein adler. 



ARISTOTLE. 



Of Aquila; there are several kinds. One which 

 is called Pygargus from its whitish tail, as though 

 you were to name it Albicilla, loves plains, groves, 

 and towns. For by-name it is called by certain Hin- 

 nularia. It even seeks the mountains and the wood, 

 relying on its might. The other kinds seldom ap- 

 proach the plains and groves. 



Now, seeing that Pygargus is the first kind of the Aquilae, 

 the German scribblers err disgracefully, who reckon it their 

 Trapp, which is the Tetrix in the works of Aristotle and 

 the Tetrao of Pliny, as I shall shew afterwards. Pygargus, 

 if I err not, in the English tongue is called an Erne. 



OF THE PLANGA OR CLANGA, FROM ARISTOTLE. 



Another kind, second in size and strength, by 

 name Clanga or Planga, generally haunts glades and 

 valleys and lakes. It has the by-name Anataria, and 

 Morphna from the marking on the wing ( as though 

 you should say spotted. Of this Homer makes men- 

 tion in the scene of Priam's death. 



PLINY ON THE MORPHNA OR PLANGA. 



Morphnos, which Homer also calls Percnos, some 

 name Plancus and Anataria, second in size and 



1 A very doubtful derivation.
