BOSC as authority for the kind which that naturalist describes being "rouges et tachetees;" which is scarcely applicable to the Singhalese species.

The text of the LXX is this, [Greek: engizei moi ho laos houtos en to stomati autou kai en tois ...

The adoption of the rule of "counted syllables" in Spanish may have been due to one or more of several causes: to the influence of medieval ...
