Belon of Mans, a Frenchman, who first at-tempted to range birds according to their natures,published a work on ornithology in 1555.

His second chaptertreats of vultures, falcons, shrikes, and owls ; inthe two next he passes over to the web-footedwater fowls, and to the cloven-footed ; in tiiefifth he includes the gallinaceous and struthious,but mixes with them the plovers, buntings, andlarks; in the sixth are the pies, pigeons, andthrushes; and the seventh takes in the rest of thepasserine order.
