62 WARBLER. 



Le Motteux, ou Cul-blanc verdatre, Buf. iv. 248. 

 Orange-breasted Wheat-Ear, Gen. Syn. iv. 470. 



This is smaller than the other; the upper parts black brown, 

 mixed with greenish brown ; on the wing a white spot ; throat dirty 

 white ; fore part of the neck the same, mixed with black ; breast 

 orange, paler towards the belly ; upper and under tail coverts white ; 

 tail brown, all but the two middle feathers have the ends white. 

 This is the female. — The young bird is almost wholly brown. 



These inhabit the Cape of Good Hope, and according to M. 

 Levaillant, differ only in sex ; the name given to this is. Schaap 

 Wagtertje.* 



B. — In this the head is not wholly black, but only the chin and 

 sides above the eye ; the crown, nape, and all the parts, above being 

 pale brown, mottled with dusky ; the under parts, quite to the vent, 

 white ; sides of the neck, under the wings, and the rump pale ferru- 

 ginous ; quills dusky, with pale edges ; on the middle of the wing 

 a patch of white ; tail dusky, nearly black, edged as the quills, the 

 two outer feathers more or less white. 



The female is much the same, but paler, the fore part of the head 

 and chin not black, but rufous white ; through the eye a dusky 

 streak . 



These inhabit India, and seem to be further Varieties of the Stone- 

 Chat. From the last place we have also seen another, in which the 

 head and throat were black ; the crown black, spotted darker brown ; 

 beneath pale rufous, the rump, and collar round the neck the same; 

 and appears very like the Common Stone-Chat. 



* The Pileated Warbler is also called Schaap Walter.
