320 WAGTAIL. 



Inhabits Madras, and supposed by Mr. Ray to be the female of 

 the next described. The size is not mentioned, but by the shape of 

 the tail it may be suspected to belong to the last species. 



4— BLACK AND WHITE WAGTAIL. 



Motacilla Maderaspatensis, Ind.Orn. ii. 502. Gm. Lin.'i. 961. 



Black and white Wagtail, Rati, 194. 3. pi. 1. f. 1. Gen. Syn. iv. 397. 



THE size of this is also uncertain. The bill, legs, and other 

 parts, which are ash-colour in the last, are in this black, and the 

 under white ; it has also an oblique white band on the wings ; the 

 tail feathers are the same in colour, and in shape, somewhat divided 

 in the middle, but by no means forked, and the feathers are rounded 

 at the ends. 



Inhabits Madras with the last, and thought to be the male bird, 

 but this appears to us to be a doubtful circumstance. 



5.— PIED WAGTAIL.- Pl. civ. 



THIS is in size and shape much like the first species. General 

 colour black ; from the forehead a broad streak of white passes over 

 the eye, to near the nape, on each side ; beneath from the breast 

 white; a broad band of white passes longitudinally through the 

 middle of the wing ; the two middle tail feathers black, the others 

 white, and the shape of the tail is rounded at the end ; bill and legs 

 dusky. — Inhabits various parts of India. 



6— AGUIMP WAGTAIL. 



L'Aguimp, ou Lavandiere pie, Levail. Afr. iv. 82. p. 178. 



IN this the general colour of the plumage is black ; chin and 

 throat white; forehead white, passing over the eyes in a white streak,
