TURKT, MANCHU AND CHINESE. 277 



84. Tas Tolek. \^fHj J& 



A term in falconry : " haggard." 

 Manchu: Bigan-i huksen. 

 Chinese : Shan lung. 



The :f Mirror" says : Birds which have passed a year in the wild state are called bigan-i 

 huksen. 



B.M. I. gives t_Cy \jL\3=\jsa^> yj> 



Nos. 80, 81, 82, 83 and 84 are all falconers' terms, but seeing that they are intro- 

 duced in this place it is quite possible these terms are applied to birds in the state 

 specified without further addition. 



85. Ala Quyruq Sar ^U J^ ^J ^t 



A Buzzard. 



? Archibutes aquilinus. 



Manchu: Huweten. 



Chinese: Htja pao [Giles: Archibutes aquilinus]. 



The " Mirror " saj^s : The huweten somewhat resembles the vulture (hiyebele No. 63), and is 

 whitish in colour. It catches mice, hares and pheasants, but with difficulty {arkari). 

 The Turki dla quyruq means <c having a variegated tail." 



Giles also gives pat (white) pao as a name for the Buzzard. 



86. Lapang Sar. ^U <_£jJ 



A Buzzard. 

 Manchu: Lahota. 

 Chinese : Pai ch'ao. 



The "Mirror" says: The lahota resembles the vulture (No. 63), but is smaller. The root of 

 the tail is white. It is an unintelligent bird, i.e., it is useless for hunting. 



I have not been able to trace the Turki word lapang or lafang. 



87. Kdk Lapang Sar. jL, ^xk) ^Sj> 



A Buzzard. 



Manchu: Lamun lahota. 



Chinese : Hei ch'ao. 



Apparently a dark variety of No. 86. 



88. Itka. dSjj) 



A term in falconry. 



Manchu: Utan. 



Chinese : Wo ch'tj [lit. a nestling or fledgeling]. 

 The " Mirror " says : Hawks and falcons taken from the nest and tamed are called utan. 

 Zakharoff only gives utan in the sense of pelican, synonymous with hit an.
