THE common Yellow Wagtail of England, first de- 

 scribed by our countryman and naturalist John Ray, and 

 now proposed, for distinction's sake, to be called Ray's 

 Wagtail,* is a constant summer visitor to this country, 



* There are four species of Wagtails on the European Continent, all of which 

 are bright yellow in summer.
