336 WAGTAIL. 



vent, dusky white; quills dusky; second quills edged with ferru- 

 ginous; tail three inches long, even at the end, the outmost feather 

 white ; the next white, with the inner margin brown ; the third 

 dusky, with a slender streak of white down the middle ; the others 

 plain dusky ; legs brown. 



Inhabits Hudson's Bay, and known there by the name of Puck- 

 i-tow-o-shish. Independent of the above, we do not know of any 

 of the Wagtail kind found in America. We have seen but one 

 specimen of this, which although it had every general appearance 

 of the Wagtail, the bill was certainly of a stouter make than we 

 have observed before in others of the Genus. 



25.— SCAPULAR WAGTAIL. 



Jora scapularis, Lin. Trans, xiii. p. 102. 

 Turdus scapularis, Lin. Trans, xiii. p. 311. 



LENGTH five inches. Bill rather stout, a little compressed 

 towards the tip, and a trifle bent ; nostrils oval, small, placed in an 

 elongated hollow; plumage in general greenish yellow ; breast and 

 belly yellow; wings short; quills dusky, edged on the outer margins 

 with yellowish, and on the inner with white ; tail elongated, even at 

 the end, exterior feathers pale on the edges; hind claw rather stout. 



Inhabits Java, and Sumatra ; feeds on insects, and is there called. 

 Chjto. This and the Hudsonian seem to tally somewhat in the 

 make of the bill, and elongated tail, approaching so much to the 

 Wagtail, that we think ourselves scarcely justified to attach them 

 to any other Genus.
