This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...translated "great owl" in Lev. xi. 17, and Deut. xiv. 16; "owl" in Isaiah xxxiv. 1i. Most probably the Egyptian horned or eagle owl (Bubo ascalaphus), a bird closely allied to the great horned or eagle owl of Europe (Bubo The Horned Owl. maximus), and very plentiful in Egypt, among the ruins ot that country, and in Palestine. (3) Lilith occurs Isaiah xxxiv. 14, where it is translated screech owl. Perhaps the hooting or tawny owl (Syrnium stridula), or the common barn owl (Strixflammed). (4) Kippoz occurs Isa. xxxiv. 15, where it is translated "great owl." All we can say is, that it is some kind of owl. (5) Bathyaanah occurs eight times; viz., Lev. xi. 16; Deut. xiv. 15; Job xxx.-29; Isa. xiii. 21, xxxiv. 13, and xliii. 20; Jer. l. 39, and Micah i. 8.

On referring to the passage in Job xxx. 29, "I am a brother to dragons and a companion to owls," the reader will see that the word owls is rendered "ostriches" in the marginal reading. It is the same with Isa. xliii. 20: "The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls" (ostriches in marginal reading). See also Isaiah xiii. 21: "But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there, and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures, and owls shall dwell there" (ostriches in marginal reading). This word has therefore been wrongly translated, and the correction of the text has been made in the marginal reading. Order II.--Cursores, Or Running Birds. The Ostrich, Or Camel-bird (Strnthio camelus, L.). This bird is indigenous to northern central Africa and Arabia. It shuns the presence of man, preferring the...
