 term, while there is not much sense in " horse of the wood " 

 which is the meaning of c.\ppiil coille. 



Chaffinch [hrik-en hd-hd). 

 t)picin beAt^ (6). 

 O'Reilly translates this word by Linnet, but it evidently 

 corresponds with the Scotch " brecan beatha " which means 

 Chaffinch. 



Chiffchaff. 

 I am not acquainted with an Irish name.

Chough (M-dg). 

 Ct\"6o5 (1), cut)65 (6), CAbo5(6), ca|\65 (3) (compare Jackdaw). 



This bird somewhat resembles the Jackdaw, but is 

 easily distinguished from it by its long red bill. 



Coot {kjarh-kjdn-in). 

 CBAjAC cex^nnp1onn (3), ? -oiibf iUAtriv\iX)e ('^). 

 I suggest the second word as a possible name for Coot, 

 although O'Reill}/ translates it by Diver.

The two words -otiibeti and bjwiije^l are given by Ussher 

 and Warren. The former may be equivalent to •oiibetin 

 which is translated as Diver or Grebe by O'Reilly, while 

 the latter is probably another spelling for bpoi^ioll. 

 According to Colgan CxMlleAt -onb and pAoitexAC are used in 

 Clare Island. The first of these words is identified by 

 Forbes in the Scotch Gaelic with Shag, while I cannot 

 find the other in any vocabulary. (Compare Shag). 



Corn Bunting (see Bunting).
