i no C (^\ In armonim generibus milites sumunt ab animalibus nomina. (Serv. Aen. i%, 503.)
PREFACE. The writer first became interested in the subject of this thesis by trying to parallel for class-room purposes the not infrequent figurative uses of animal names in Caesar and Xenophon. The idea of approaching it seriously from the view-point of semantics was due to the conflicting testimonia veterum in regard to the reason for the transfer of the term testudo to the military device. The introduction, being very general in character, is naturally not intended to be exhaustive. For kindly criticism and suggestions, as well as for as- sistance in proof-reading, the writer takes pleasure in expressing his thanks to Professors J. C. Rolfe and W. B. Mc- Daniel and Assistant Professors R. G. Kent and G. D. Hadzsits, of the University of Pennsylvania. E. S. McC.
