review of it is given by Harting, No. 79 {pp. cit. pp. 362-370).

For some details of the sport as practised by the Arabs, the 

 reader may be referred to Dr. Thomas Shaw's " Travels in 

 several parts of Barbary and the Levant," folio, Oxford, 1738, 

 reprinted in vol. xv. of Pinkerton's " Collection of Voyages and 

 Travels;" Pierre de Castellan," Souvenirs de la Vie Militaireen 

 Afrique," 8vo, Paris, 1849 i C. Van Breughel, Dutch Consul at 

 Tripoli, quoted by Schlegel, op. cit. p. 70 ; Canon H. B. 

 Tristram, "The Great Sahara," Svo, London, Murray, i860, 

 pp. 63-66, 81, 274; and General Daumas, whose work, "Les 

 Chevaux du Sahara et les moeurs du Desert," Svo, Paris, 1862, 

 has been translated into English (see No. 199) and Spanish 

 (No. 254), and contains a section on hawking as practised by 

 the Arabs. 



Through the influence of the Moors in Spain a variety of 

 Arabic terms relating to Falconry, and names for different kinds 

 of hawks, were introduced into that country. Such words, 

 for example, as " Alcotan," " Alfaneque,"' " Azor " (Arabic, as-

 nature of the Peregrine Falcon, to which species this name is 

 applied), " Borni " {al bornt, the Barbary Falcon, from the 

 province of Bornou), " Nebli," " Sacre " (from <;aqr or sakr), 

 " Tagarote," &c., are frequently to be met with in old Spanish 

 books on Falconry. For an explanation of them the reader 

 should consult the useful and interesting work of MM. Dozy 

 et Engelmann, " Glossaire des Mots Espagnols et Portugais 

 derives de I'Arabe," 2nd ed. Svo, Leyden, 1869.
