 Adult. General colour above deep black from the crown to the 

 upper tail-coverts, the lateral ones of which are externally white ; 



* The first mention of the n'^me of M. Twdgsoni appears in Hodgson's list of 

 Nepalese Birds published in Gray's ' Zoological Miscellany,' where it is applied 

 to three figures in the drawings (nos. 133, 134, 135). Of these figs. no. 134 

 represents M. alha, and ro. 133 M. hodgsoni, while no. 136 is M. letKopsisK 

 It was not until the year 1865 that Ulyth, whose MS. name appears to have 

 been adopted in the first instance, gave a clear indication of the sjjecies. 



^ I do not employ Hodgson's name of alboides for the present species, as 

 the plate on which it is founded contains figures o\' three distinct kinds of 

 Wagtails.
