3<>. Vocabulary of Technical Falconry Terms in Urdu, 



Persian, and Arabic. 



By Lieut.-Colonel D. C. Phillott, F.A.S.B., Secretary and 



Member, Board of Examiners, Calcutta. 



The English terms in this vocabulary have been taken 

 mainly from the numerous works of Mr. J. E. Harting. The 

 Eastern terms have been collected from Indian, Persian, and 

 Arab falconers, as well as from MSS. As the vocabulary, 

 however, does not claim to be exhaustive, the compiler not 

 having lived more than thirty years in the East, English terms 

 for which no equivalents could be found have been included. 

 It is left to some future falconer to fill in the gaps.
