10. wigole fugules. Birds that forbode by singing, etc, 



WW. 133. 2 : oscines aues, wigole fugules. 



1 1 . wudufugol. Wood-fowl ; < wudu, wood + fugol, 

 bird. 



£t. 25. 20: wudufuglas, Seah hi beon wel atemede, gif hi on Sam wudu 

 weort5atS, hi forseotS heora lareowas and wuniaB on heora gecynde ; Met. 13. 

 69 : wudufuglas. 



LXVIII. geolna. On record only in WW. 132. 17: ibis, 

 geolna. It is probable that the Egyptian ibis is meant, 

 if we take into consideration the definition of ibis in 

 Cockayne's Shrine 29: ibin, avis in affrica habens longum 

 rostrum. 



LXIX. stryta. Ostrich ; < L. struthio, as also OHG. 

 struz and G. strausz. ^ryssce is also given as ostrich in 

 Bosworth-Toller, but it is obviously a variation of ^rysce, 

 thrush. 



WW. 258. 6 . strutio, struta ; Cp. S. 571 : ~ stryta. 



LXX. eow. Griffin, half lion, half eagle. 



WW. 118. 37 : griffes, eow, fitJerfote fugel. 



LXXI. fenix. The fabulous bird phoenix. 



M. Gr. 70. 12: hie Fenix; 70. 15: hujus Fenicis ; Ph. 86: faeger fugel 

 feSrum strong, se is Fenix haten ; 218 : Fenix byrneS ; 340 : Fenix biS on 

 middum Sreatum biSrungen. 



LXXII. beardleas. Wrongly given by Bosworth-Tol- 

 ler as a hawk or buzzard, on the strength of the reference 

 WW. 171. 3 : ephebus uel buteo, beardleas. Buteo is the usual 

 L. word for hawk, but that it was sometimes used in OE. 

 for young man the following reference from the glossary 

 in ZdA. 33 is proof positive : probuin buteonem, godne geon- 

 gan. Du Cange, in his Gloss. Med.et Inf. Lat., also defines 

 buteo as juvenis. Beardleas, then, in the above connection 

 is used in its literal sense of ' beardless,' i. e. youth.
