BEARDED VULTURE: 
This fine Vulture is said to be the Vultiir 
Barbaras, or Barbary Vulture, of Linnsus ; 
and the Vultur Barbatus, or Bearded Vulture, 
I of Brisson and Edwards. We apprehend, 
1 however, that the Linnasan name is by mis- 
! take printed Barbarus, instead of Barbatus ; 
.and, indeed, in a note to the translation of 
' BuiFon's Alpine Vulture, where it is men- 
tioned that he seems to range this bird with 
that species, it is called the Vulturin'e Eagle of 
Albin, the Vultur Barbatus of Linnaeus, the 
Alpine Vulture of Brisson, and the Percnopte- 
rus Gypaetos of Ray. 
The Alpine Eagle, however, and not the 
Bearded Eagle, we are of opinion, 'is the true 
Percnopterus Gypaetos ; being the' name 
given to that bird by Aristotle, which Theo- 
dore Gaza properly translates ' Subaquila, 
Others, however, and particularly Aldrovandus, 
have conje6lured, that instead of T^rcti^o^, we 
ought to read Tv7rct{jo^^ or Vulturina Aquila. 
The fa6l is, that both these appellations suit 
|the Alpine Vulture; but we do not conceive 
I that
