* The Linnzan genus Moetacilla has been feparated by Pennant, and his method 
adopted by Latham; by this feparation the Wagtails conftitute one genus, and the 
Warblers another: the latter are diftinguifhed from the former in feveral refpeéts; they 
@erch on trees, proceed by leaps, not running, and feldom emit any noife in fight.
