164 A GLOSSARY OF GREEK BIRDS 



IXOINIAOI {continued). 



as a small bird, smaller than a thrush, which moves its tail and 

 frequents rivers and ponds. 



The identification hangs by that of kijkXos and nvyapyos, q. v. Of the 

 three bird-names, not one is to be identified with any certainty ; I am 

 somewhat inclined to interpret nvyapyos, the largest of the three, as 

 a Sandpiper, and to suppose the other two to be both Wagtails ; at any 

 rate, o-xoiv'Ckos, in its derivation, rather suggests a Wagtail than a Sand- 

 piper. The same bird appears elsewhere under such names as KiXXovpos, 

 aelaovpa, aeio-onvyis ; vide also s.v. o-KaXidpis. The identification with the 

 Reed Bunting, Emberiza schoeniclus, adopted by Turner, Gaza, &c, &c, 

 is based purely on the derivation of the word, and is contradicted 

 by the fact that the Reed Bunting does not flick its tail as the 

 others do. 



XXOINl'ftN. An unknown bird; perhaps, as Gaza and others take 

 it, identical with oxoinXos.
