hi; 



sion of certain omotions, as, surprise. But when surprised at anything, we question it, 

 or doubt it, and tliis implies a feeling of superiority in ourselves; lience luiuglitiness, 

 loftiness, even disdain and scorn, for tlie person or object wliieli nialves us siijierriliuus. 

 Super is the Gr. imfp. Cilium is tlie eyelid, before transfi'rred to the eyelashes ; it is tlio 

 Greek «i5Aa, the eyelids. Cilia, in the plural, has latterly been much used in the sciences 

 for any sort of little hairs or fringes, or Jldi/illa ; as, ciliated epithelium, &c. — Lat. antil- 

 larian, of the Antilles ; in the genitive plural.

S. fii-li-gln-o'-sS. See Canacc, No. 559. 



S. Sn-aes-the'-tl-c5. Gr. itvaterOrtriKSs, insensible, unfeeling, not perceiving; hence, as 

 applied to this bird, stupid, foolish ; a or av, privative, and oiVOtjtikc^j, sensible, &c. ; 

 alaBiiais, sensation, perception, feeling; aurSivoixai, I perceive. We have the Englisli 

 (csllulic direct from the Greek, though tiiis has experienced a refinement of meaning the 

 original did not possess; also in medicine, aiiastlusia, the state of insensilwlity jiroduced 

 by such drugs as wther or chloroform, called from their proi)erty, aiiasilidic. The word 

 has been brutally written aiwslliata ; amcslhcia is one amendment already introduced, and 

 the above is a further improvement.

 swallow. — Lat. lail/oi-iiii.i, gull-like, shaped like a gull: lams and/onna.

 p. 188. 



A'-n6-fls stfil'-I-dQs. Gr. Avoos or Hvous, literally mindless, unmindful of ; a j)rivative and 

 vovs, the mind, intellect, understanding. It is applied to the bird as exactly equivalent 

 to stolidus, or nna-sthetica, as stolid, apathetic, insensible, in view of its inditl'erenee to 

 the presence of man. — Lat. stolidus, stolid; related to stultiis, foolish, silly. 



Rhynch'-5ps nlg'-r5. Gr. l>vyxo'< ''"' beak, and iiij/, the face ; well applied to a bird whose 

 extraordinary beak is such a prominent feature. — Lat. uijcr, feminine iilyra, black.
