WAGTAIL. 329 



In France it is seen at all times of the year, except the winter is 

 uncommonly severe ; changing the uplands for the sides of gentle 

 streams, when food grows scarce in the former. Inhabits also Italy 

 and Spain ; appears in Gibraltar with the Wagtail ; extends north- 

 ward all over Russia and Siberia, as well as Kamtschatka, but 

 migrates as in the warmer parts. Scopoli says, that both sexes have 

 the yellow rump, and at all ages. This has also been brought from 

 India, where it is called Peel uck ;* called in some drawings from 

 thence, the Wagtail of the Dooab ; and found at Futtehghur in 

 May. One also, not unlike, found at New South Wales.

Bill black, rather stout at the base, pointed, and a trifle curved ; 

 plumage above cinereous grey ; beneath yellow ; over the eye a line 

 of yellow ; greater wing coverts tipped with white, forming a band ; 

 quills and tail black ; legs pale red ; the hind claw twice the length 

 of either of the others.

B. — Length scarcely six inches. Bill pale ; top of the head and 

 sides pale blue grey ; nape, neck behind, and back, pale olive-green ; 

 all beneath from the chin pale yellow ; near the vent white ; from 

 the nostrils a black streak, broader behind ; it divides the eye in half, 

 in a straight line, but is considerably below it in the enlarged part, 

 and continues beyond the eye, where it is rounded ; wings dusky, 

 all the coverts margined with yellow white ; the second quills with 



* Peeluck, or Pilluch, is also the Indian name for the Golden Oriole; both, no doubt, 

 arising from the yellow colour.
