. — H. C) Hunting Lynxes were used at the Court of Akbar. They are also mentioned byA, Hamilton as so used in Sind at the end of the 17th century. This author calls theanimal a Shoe-goose! i.e. Siya-gosh (Black-ear), the Persian name of the Lynx. It isstill occasionally used in the chase by natives of rank in India. (Brunetto Lat. Tresorp. 248 ; Popular Treatises on Science written during Mid. Ages, 94 ; Ayeen Akbery,u.s. ; Hamilt. E. Indies, I. 125 ; Vigne, I. 42.) Note 3. —The conception of a Tiger seems almost to have dropped out of theEuropean mind during the Middle Ages. Thus in a mediaeval Bestiary, a chapter onthe Tiger begins : Une Beste est qui est apelee Tigre cest line maniere de Serpent.Hence Polo can only call the Tigers, whose portrait he draws here not incorrectly,Lions. So also nearly 200 years later Barbaro gives a like portrait, and calls theanimal Leonza. Marsden supposes judiciously that the confusion may have beenpromoted by the ambiguity of the Persian S/ier.

The Chinese pilgrim, Sung-Yun (a.D. 518), saw two young lions at the Court ofGandhara. He remarks that the pictures of these animals common in China, werenot at all good likenesses. (Beal, p. 200.) We do not hear in modern times of Tigers trained to the chase, but Chardin saysof Persia : In hunting the larger animals they, make use of beasts of prey trained forthe purpose, lions, leopards, tigers, panthers, ounces. Note 4.—This is perfectly cotrect. In Eastern Turkestan, and among theKirghiz to this day, eagles termed Burgut (now well known to be the Golden Eagle)are tamed and trained to fly at wolves, foxes, deer, wild goats, etc A Kirghiz will 400 MARCO POLO Book II. give a good horse for an eagle in which he recognises capacity for training. Mr.Atkinson gives vivid descriptions and illustrations of this eagle (which he calls Bearcoote),
