Notes by the Editor. 



4. Tetrao Francolinus, perhaps the 'Arnxyug of ancient Greece: it was a bird esteemed 

 by the Epicures; " Tu attagenem ructas; ego faba ventrem impleo." Hierony. in Epis. 

 ad Asell. The bird was found in Bceotia (Acharn. 873.) not in Megaris, as Athenaeus 

 states, lib. ix. c. 10. See Schw. in locum. We have seen it near Smyrna; and it is also 

 common, Russell says, in the country round Aleppo. 



5. " The Greeks ^says Dr. Sibthorp) have given the name of Decoctoori to this bird 

 from its note, as the French apply the word dixhuit to our lapwing." 



7. Phasianus Colchicus. The pheasant, according to Sonnini, flies over from Thessaly 

 to some of the contiguous islands of the Archipelago. The bird was known at Athens 

 in the time of Aristophanes (Nubes, 108.) and had probably been brought into Greece 

 from Colchis, by the companions of Jason. See Beckmann deHis. Nat. Vet. 



6. Alauda Cristata, the xopvdaXkoi of the ancients. *
