312 POLYGLOT LIST OF BIRDS— 



260. Bis Yolloq. ^Jji J^** 



Manchu: Jingjara [Z. Russian Lyesnoi vorobei = wood-sparrow]. 

 Chinese : Wu tao mei. 

 The Chinese wu tao mei means literally " five-striped eyebrow." 



The "Mirror" has: Resembles the fiyasha cecike (No. 339). From the beak up to the head 

 extend five black stripes, looking like eyebrows ; the female does not possess these. 



The Turki has the appearance of a doggerel translation of the Chinese. Tao, in 

 this and the three preceding words, evidently means "streak" or "stripe," like the 

 Manchu justan. The Turki yol, " a road," is here used in the same sense.
