GREY-HEADED WAGTAIL. 
A common bird on the Continent, but so rare with us that it ean 
only be regarded as an accidental visitor. 
154, DUDYEES CINGREOCAPILLA . . . » «» «» WOl.. IDI: Pl. VY; 
GREY-CAPPED WAGTAIL. 
A bird which passes from Africa, by way of Malta, through Cen- 
tral Europe to breed on the Dovrefjeld and other northern parts of 
this quarter of the globe. Has been killed only once or twice in 
England, and consequently is only an accidental visitor. 
Genus CALOBATES. 
This peculiar form of Wagtail is more elegant in appearance than 
the members of either of the two preceding genera; its legs are 
shorter, and its tail longer; in colour it closely assimilates to the 
members of the genus Budytes. While the Motacille are circum- 
scribed in the range of their area, the Calobates sulphurea is found 
at one season or another in nearly every portion of the Old World, 
Australia and New Zealand excepted.

Grey WaAGTAIL. 
A resident in the three kingdoms. Evinces a preference for moun- 
tainous districts. Breeds in May, constructing, like the others, a 
cup-shaped nest, and laying four or five eggs. 
Family ANTHIDA. 
Pirirs. 
We have here a group of birds which are more generaily spread 
than the Wagtails, inasmuch as they are diffused over both divisions 
of the globe, but which are far less numerous in the older portion 
than the new. Like most other large groups they have been divided 
and subdivided into many genera ; those frequenting England I have 
retained under the old genus Anthus, and commence with one of the 
finest known species.
