Birds of this genus frequent the fides of brooks : have long 

 tails, which are frequently in motion : their pace running : for 

 the molt part fly in an undulating manner, efpecially if to any 

 diftance : feldom perch, and have a twittering noife in- flight * : 

 make the neft on or very near the ground. 



I believe the whole of this genus is confined to the old con- 

 tinent, and the ifles adjacent.
