Note. — Circus cyaneus, L. ( p =Falco pygargus, L.), the Hen-harrier 

 or Ring-tail, is now called irvyapyos in the Cyclades (Erhard, op. cit. 

 p. 47). To it much of the description given is applicable, but certainly 

 not the epithet ve(Spo(povos. Sundevall imagines the Golden Eagle to 

 be meant, Gloger and others the White-tailed Eagle or Erne, Haliaetus 

 albicilla (L.), to which latter the description in Aesch. Ag. 115 6 e£o7ru/ 

 dpyias, seems to apply : but these are surely excluded by the evidence 

 as to size (cf. Pliny, 1. a), frequency, and affection for cities and plains. 

 I incline to identify the bird with the Short-toed Eagle, Circa'etus 

 gallicus, which in French, as perhaps also here, seems to share its 

 popular name (Jean-le-Blanc) with C. cyaneus. But the name was 

 originally mystical (cf. s.v. ixeXdjunruyos), however it may in later times 

 have been specifically applied to a particular bird. 



nYTAProx, p. An undetermined bird. 



Arist. H. A. viii. 3, 593 b. A water-bird, mentioned with axoiviKos 

 and KiyKkos, about the size of a thrush ; to ovpalov Kivel : frequents rivers 

 and streams. 



The size agrees with Sundevall's -suggestion of a Sandpiper. Aubert
