Abstract
WE have here a translation of the section called “De Volatu” in the first volume of Borelli's “De Motu Animalium,” first published in Rome in 1680–81. This is the first time this part of the seventeenth-century classic has been translated into English. The booklet will make an appeal to all who are interested in the conquest of the air.
