25. — Left Beshik Seir three hours before day; and dined on the 

 banks of the Yabasil. Different grallae frequent this lake in winter ; 

 some yet remained; the lap-wing, the red-shank, the large grey 

 heron and sea swallow flew along the water. We shot one which 

 I took to be the Sterna nsevia of Linnaeus, and a beautiful species of 

 a small white heron. We killed also a large black hawk, probably 

 the moor buzzard. We observed two sorts of vulture soaring high 

 above us, and a large falcon, that I take to be the bald buzzard. 



* Some of these fishes are mentioned by Belon as found in the Lake Beshik ; " perchi, 

 plesti, platanes, lipares, turnes, grivadi, schella, schurnucca, posu6taria } cheronia, claria, 

 gianos." p. 52.
