GREY WATER-WAGTAIL. 
IN the "Linnssan List of Edwards's Birds, the 
Grey Water- Wagtail is denominated Mota- 
cilla V oarula, by mistake, instead of Boarula; 
a name which implies it's attachment to cattle- 
of this we do not entirely approve, as it is not 
more remarkable for such an attachment than 
the other species. It is the Motacilla Flava, 
-of Brisson ; the Yellow Water- Wagtail, of 
Albin ; the Yellow Bergeronette, of BurFon ; 
and the Grey Wagtail or Water- Wagtail, of 
.Edwards, Pennant, Willughby, and Latham . 
Edwards observes, that u we have only 
three birds in England of this germs : the 
White, the Yellow, and the Grey Water- 
"Wagtail. They do not differ sensibly in mag- 
nitude. 
*• The bill is slender, straight, of a dusky 
colour, and ends in a point. The top and 
;sides of the head, upper side of the neck, and 
the back, are covered with ash-coloured fea- 
thers ;
