 morphosis, by Boios ap. Anton. Lib. c. xxi. Vide s.v. <rrpi£.

 avKaWis, cf. Athen. ii. 65 c.

Aubert and Wimmer suppose the Marsh Tit, Parus palustris, L., 

 P. atricapillus, Gmel., to be meant. Sundevall supposes a confusion 

 between that bird (peXayKopvcpos) and the Black-headed or Pied 

 Flycatcher, Muscicapa atricapilla, L., (o-vKaXis), as accounting for 

 the imaginary metamorphosis. But the Black-headed Flycatcher is 

 probably chosen incorrectly, and should be the Black-cap Warbler or 

 true Beccafico, Sylvia atricapilla. It is the latter and not the former 

 bird which comes down into the plains in autumn and is caught in 

 multitudes on the fig-trees (Kriiper, p. 241, &c). The former is 

 a comparatively scarce bird in Greece (Kriiper, Lindermayer). Coray, 

 on the other hand, identifies avKaXls with the Golden Oriole, in Mod. 

 Gk. o-vKocpdyos. The Golden Oriole is also known now-a-days as 

 KirpivonovXi and croxXalos, the latter of which names might possibly be 

 a corruption of 0-vmXis.
