INTRODUCTION. 
Iv 
Genus Enneoctonus, 
The members of this genus differ considerably from the preceding, inasmuch as, instead of the sexes 
being alike, they vary in colour and markings. Species of this form are found in Europe, Asia, and Africa. 
63. Enneoctonus collurio ........... Vol. II. PI. XV. 
Butcherbird. 
A migrant from the south in May, and returning thither early in autumn. 
64. Enneoctonus rufus ........... Vol. II. PI. XVI. 
Wood-Chat. 
Although this bird has been killed in England several times, it can only be regarded as an accidental 
visitor. It is said to have bred in this country ; but, for myself, I have never seen an authenticated egg 
which had been taken herein. 
Family MUSCICAPIDiE. 
The various members of this family are very generally dispersed over the countries of the Old World. 
When I published my Plates of the two following species, the late Mr. George R. Gray had recently 
indicated, in his ‘ Catalogue of British Birds,’ that the old Muscicapa atricapUla pertained to the genus 
Muscicapa, and the M. grisola to the genus Butalis ; but in his more recent ‘ Hand-list ’ he makes the latter 
the type Muscicapa, and places the former under Sundevall’s subgenus Hedymela. 
Genus Muscicapa. 
65. Muscicapa atricapilla . . . . . . . . . . Vol. II. PI. XVII. 
Pied Flycatcher. 
A well-known migrant to Britain, chiefly frequenting the northern portion of England, where it breeds. 
It is rarely met with in Scotland, and never in Ireland. For an interesting note by Mr. Stevenson on a 
singular immigration of this species on the Suffolk coast in September 1869, see the ‘Zoologist’ for that 
year, p. 1492. 
66. Muscicapa collaris ........... Vol. II. PI. XVIII. 
White-collared Flycatcher. 
This species, which has once been killed in England, is a native of Eastern Europe.
