_Melody of the Dying Swan_ (Vol. v., p. 107.).--A reference to Platon's
_Phædon_, p. 84. sub fin., with Fischer's note, forms a tolerable answer

"De cantu cygnorum, qui jam multis veterum fabulosus, v. _Lucian.
de Electro_, c. 5.; _Ælian. H.A._ ii. 32.; xi. 1.; xiv. 13.;
_Pausan._, i. 30.; _Eutecnius Paraphr. Ixeut. Oppian._, p. 78. 5.;
_Eustathius ad Il._ βʹ., p. 254., aliosque qui a Jac.

[Where is this to be heard of?] Add Arist. _H.A._, viii. 11.; Ovid.
