272 POLYGLOT LIST OF BIRDS— 



62. Aq Bas Sar. ^U Jib Jjl 



The Marsh Harrier. 

 Circus ceruginosus. 

 Manchu : Karcin [Z. A vulture]. 

 Chinese : Hua yao ying. 

 Scully, S. F., No. 54, gives Aq bas sd as the name for Circus ceruginosus. 

 The forms sar and sa seem to be interchangeable in this list. 



Giles says : Yao ying is milvus govinda. The Chinese name for this bird would 

 therefore be the variegated kite. But yao ying is used to express No. 63, the 

 Buzzard. 



63. Sar. ;U 



The Buzzard. 



Buteo vulgaris [Scully, S. F., 44 J. 



Manchu: Hiyebele. 



Chinese : Yao ying [Giles, Milvus govinda]. 



;l~ again used for more usual U sd. 



64. Kokenek. \S& j> 



? The Kestrel. 

 ? Cerchneis tinnunculus. 

 Manchu: Baldargan. 

 Chinese: Ch'ing chien. 



The "Mirror" says: This bird resembles the karanidun (No. 76). The eyes and feet are 

 yellow. It eats frogs and toads. 



Zakhaioff says : It belongs to the Vulturidce. 



B. M. Or. II gives Kokenek as the equivalent of the Persian bum, an owl. 



According to Scully the Turki name for the Kestrel is Kurganak, but in B. S. 

 No. 22 one allusion to this bird will be found under "Kukunak Kushkunak" [adult 

 male].

 ? An owl. 



Manchu: Se [Gabelentz, lc Weisser Sperber. " Z. " Crested owl"]. 



Chinese: Feng ying. 



The "Mirror" says: This bird somewhat resembles the tarbalji (No. 60). It is whitish in 

 colour and its ears are like the ears of a lynx. 



Zakharoff seems to be right in saying this bird is an owl. And it is worthy of 

 remark that the bird to which it is compared by the " Mirror/' namely, the tarbalji, 

 has in the Turki the name huy qui, which is also the name for Bubo maximus : see 

 No. 92 below.
