Reddish-ash ; cowl and streak under eye black ; eye-

 brown spotted ; length five inches and a half. South 

 of Europe. 



Temminck refers to this genus M. Calliope of Pallas,

We may also distinguish some foreign slender-beaks, 

 with a very slender beak^ compressed almost as much 

 as in the Blackbirds, and a long and wedged tail.

 and Oceania ; only one is found in Europe, which has 

 been called a Warbler.
