Notes by the Editor. 



21. Phoca Vitulina, the fwxrj of Aristotle and Oppian. — Pennant, B. Z. ii. 



26. Mustela Lutra, the IvuSpij of the ancient Greeks, as is evident from the Mosaic of 

 Prseneste. " The Aara£ of Aristotle, lib. viii. c. 5. (says Pennant), is possibly a large 

 variety of otter." B. Z. ii. One of the Romaic names of the otter, is very similar 



to the Polish Wydra. 



28. Ursus Meles. " The badger (says Buffon) was not known to the Greeks, and is 

 not mentioned by Aristotle. Le blaireau n'a pas meme de nom dans la langue Grecque. 

 This species of quadruped, an original native of the temperate climates of Europe, has 

 never spread beyond Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Britain, Poland, Sweden." Bad- 

 gers' skins are mentioned in the Pentateuch ; and it was not only seen in Thessaly and 

 other parts of Greece by Dr. Sibthorp, but Mr. Hawkins found it in Crete, where it bears 

 also the name a<7/3oj. As we now know to what animal this Greek word is applied, we 

 may explain Du Cange in v. *A<rfio$, p. 13/- "Animal Fuchsio incognitum," he says. 



35. Cervus Capreolus, £apxa§<, corrupted from the ancient Sofx«j, the Caprea of Pliny. 



36. Bos Bubalus, " unknown to the Greeks and Romans; the bubalus of the ancients 

 is a different animal." — Buffon.
