264 POLYGLOT LIST OF BIRDS— 



27. Utra Ala Buyun Ghaz. jU ^j, H\ iJjl 



A medium-sized goose with variegated neck. 



I take utra (]yj ) to be a variation of orta ( aj)j1 ), cf. Ott. Turkish ^Ly not <u);', 

 " of medium height." 



Manchu : Kailun niongniyaha \Z. Anas cry tr opus]. 

 Chinese : L-ien yen. 



28. Ki6ik Q,ara Bas Ghaz. JU Jib U ^£*aS 



A small black-headed goose. 



? Anser erythropus. 



Manchu: Kiyoo niongniyaha [Z. Russian, Kazarka, i.e., the Barnacle 



Goose] . 

 Chinese: Hsiao he: t'ou yen. 

 The " Mirror " says : This goose has a black head, and a white throat. 



29. Caqir Ghaz. :U »*«a. 



J >* V 



The Wall-eyed Goose. 

 Manchu : Cangkir niongniyaha. 

 Chinese: Ch'in yen. 

 The " Mirror " says : This goose is found in the Koko-Nur District. 

 For explanation of the Turki word caqir, see No. 53. 



30. Qu. J 



? The Cormorant. 



Manchu: Kotan [Z. Russian, Baklan (=Carbo cormoranus) ]. 



Chinese : T'ao ho. 



The "Mirror" says: It somewhat resembles the wild swan {gam No. 36) and is grey in 

 colour. Its beak is wide and its crop large. It fills its crop with water [which it then pours into 

 rat holes], and having thus driven out the rats eats them. 



I am in doubt whether the swan or the cormorant is intended here. Qu is the 

 common Turki word for a swan. 



31 Uqar or Auqar JSj\ 



The Buff-backed Heron. 



? Ardea bubulcus. 



Manchu: Ho oh an. 



Chinese: Chuang. 

 The " Mirror " says: Like the gowasihiya (No. 19) in nature; the plumage is reddish. 

 See also No. 13 (above).
