Iliaciis: Aristotle, Hist. An. ix. 20, mentions iXias or iWas (or rtiXas) as a 

 small bird of the Thrush kind, which G-aza, in his Latin translation (Venice, 

 1476), calls iliacus. Derivation and quantity unknown ; it is probably a foreign 

 word, as the variation of readings shows. There can hardly be any connexion 

 with iliacus = relating to the colic ; for there is no adjective in classical Latin 

 from ilia = flanks, although it is possible that Linnseus had this notion in his 

 mind. 



A common winter visitor to the British Islands. Breeds 

 in the Arctic pine-regions of Europe and Asia ; very rarely 

 east of the Yenisei. Winters in Western and Southern 

 Europe, and, more rarely, in Algeria, Persia, Turkestan, and 

 North-west India.
