1024 WARE-GOOSE—WATTLE-BIRD 
penetrating in summer even beyond the Arctic Circle, and thence 
migrate southward at the end of summer or in the fall of the year, 
some reaching Peru and Brazil, but a few, as, for instance, Parula 
pitiayumi and Geothlypis velata seem to be resident in the country 
last named. 
WARE-GOOSE, a name for the BRENT Goose (pp. 57, 375)— 
“ware” being a local term for some kind of seaweed. 
WARIANGLE and WIERANGLE (with other variations of 
spelling) O.H.G. Werkengel, mod. Germ. Wiirgengel and /Viirger (the 
Worrier or Throttler) an obsolete name for the Great Ash-coloured 
SHRIKE (p. 844, note; of. Cotgrave, 1611, sub voce. “ Engrouée,” 
“Escrire” and “ Pie”).+ 
WARWINCKLE, used in 1633, by Simon Latham (Faulconry, ii. 
p. 144), apparently for a Pied WacratL (p. 1018), as certainly are 
WASHDISH and WASHTAIL (Holinshed, Deser. Engl. chap. 
li. ed. 1586, p. 223): the former very frequently with the prefix 
“Molly” or “Polly,” according to the common custom of nick- 
naming favourite birds. 
WASKITE,? given, with the description “from Virginia,” in 1655 
by Izaak Walton (Compleat Angler, ed. 2. p. 18) as the name of a 
Hawk in Falconry, but otherwise unknown. 
WATCHY-PICKET, a Creole name in Jamaica for Icterus 
leucopteryz (Sloane, Voy. Jam. i1. pp. 299, 300 ; Gosse, B. Jam. p. 226). 
WATER., a prefix to the name of many birds, especially to 
some of the fullidx: thus Water-cock is Gallicrex cinerea or cristata 
(Jerdon, Bb. Ind. ii. p. 718), Water-hen, a very common equivalent 
of Moor-HEN (p. 589), Water-Partridge is Porzana concolor (Gosse, B. 
Jam. p. 369, and we have Water-RAIL (p. 763); while Water-Crow 
and -OUSEL (p. 677) are Scottish and English names for Cinclus 
aquaticus ; the Water-Thrush of the English in North America is 
Sturus noveboracensis, one of the Mniotiltide (WARBLER, p. 1019), and 
the Water-Turkey is Plotus anhinga (SNAKE-BIRD, p. 880). 
WATTLE-BIRD, the name given by Cook’s people to a species 
they found during his second voyage in New Zealand (G. Forster, 
Voy. i. p. 148), and adopted in 1781 by both Pennant (Gen. B. ed. 
2, p. 9) and Latham (Gen. Synops. i. p. 364, pl. xiv.) for what they 
rightly considered a new genus, which was technically termed in 
1 In the copy of Belon’s Portraits before mentioned (pp. 680, 913 notes) the 
figure of Lantus excubitor is named WARRIANGLE. 
2 The Century Dictionary (1891) includes the word ‘‘ Waspkite” explained as 
Pernis apivorus (Honey-Buzzarp, p. 67), but no authority is cited for it, nor 
does such a name seem to be known in England. There is no bird like it in 
Amcrica.
