and sides of the neck white; remainder of crown and nape, a streak from 
the lores through the eye and over the ear-coverts, chin, throat, and 
upper breast black; remainder of lower plumage white, shaded with 
gray on the flanks; upper plumage gray, turning to black on the upper 
tail-coverts ; lesser wing-coverts gray ; median coverts dark brown, broadly 
tipped with white; greater coverts with the outer webs and a considerable 
portion of the inner white; quills dark brown, edged with white, the 
later secondaries very broadly so; the two outer pairs of tail-feathers 
nearly entirely white, the others black.” (Oates.) 
Winter plumage.—A female, taken in Calayan Island in October, 
1903, resembles the adult in summer as described above, but the chin 
and middle of throat are white, the black patch of the chest being 
crescentic in shape with its horns extending up the sides of the throat. 
Tris brown; bill, legs, and nails black. Length, 200; wing, 90; tail, 92; 
culmen from base, 15; tarsus, 22. 
Young.—A female from Lubang Island, taken in November, 1902, 
differs from the preceding specimen in having the entire top of head 
and back drab-gray instead of black and ashy gray; the dark line through 
eye drab-gray like the crown; the white forehead and supercilium but 
faintly indicated by the white bases of the feathers. 
The streak-eyed wagtail is of somewhat rare occurrence in the Phil- 
ippine Islands; it is easily distinguished by its black and white under 
parts. 
“A small flock of M. ocularis was observed in Palawan in December, 
1891, and two specimens were obtained. ‘They are both young birds in 
first winter plumage. A male measures: Length, 178; wing, 90; tail, 
97; culmen, 16.5; tarsus, 24; middle toe with claw, 20. A female, length, 
159; wing, 77; tail, 72; tarsus, 24; middle toe with claw, 20.” (Bourns
