Tue belief expressed in the first edition of this work, 
that attention being directed to the subject, the White 
Wagtail would be occasionally found in this country as a 
summer visitor, has been verified in several instances. It 
happened that late in the month of May 1841 my friend 
Mr. Fredereck Bond found two pairs of this White Wag- 
tail frequenting the banks of the reservoir at Kingsbury, 
and succeeded in shooting three of the birds, two males 
and a female, and very kindly gave me one of the males. 
In the spring of 1842 a specimen was shot near Carlisle,
