This species difters from the Motacilla Maderaspotana, Linn., 

 chiefly by the griseous band which covers the back, and the less 

 extent and depth of colour of the black mark which is found 

 before and under the eye. Mr. Caley has not noticed the habits 

 of this bird, beyond its having built its nest in a mulberry-tree 

 close to his house.
