N2 - This is the following up of my previous articles in Arabic Biology and Medicine: A Philological Description of the Bird Names given by Yaqut Al-Hamwi and Zakaria Al-Qazwini in their description of the Island of Tinnis. This series of articles is treating philologically and biologically the list of 134/135 bird names included in the descriptions of the island of Tinnīs in Lake Manzalah in the Delta of the Nile which are given by Yāqūt ibn ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥamāwī (1179-1229) in hisMuʿğam al-Buldān and by Zakariāʾ b. Muḥammad b. Maḥmūd al-Qazwīnī (1203-1283) in his Cosmography, Kitāb ʿAğāʾib al-Maẖlūqāt wa Ġarāʾib al-Mawğūdāt. As the amount of material involved in this study is extensive, the treating willtake place using several articles. In the treating of these bird names I will in this article treat the names, for which the identity is still rather easy to work out but which require more philological and zoological treating compared with those treated in my two previous articles. As in the previous articles, the treated species will taxonomically be spread out in order to provide a better overview of the knowledge found in the Arabic texts on zoology. As explained in my previous article, some bird names are still in use and the species in questions are well described in the classical literature. Īn order to avoid making the text of this article too long, we will only treat eleven species here. The remaining being treated in subsequent articles. For a general treating of list of bird names and an overview of the sources used see my previous article.
