GreEyY-CAPPED WaGrTAIL.
A bird which passes from Africa, by way of Malta, through Central Europe to breed on the Dovrefjeld

and other northern parts of this quarter of the globe. Has been killed only once or twice in England, and

consequently is only an accidental visitor.
Genus Catopares.

This peculiar form of Wagtail is more elegant in appearance than the members of either of the two
preceding genera; its legs are shorter, and its tail longer; in colour it closely assimilates to the members
of the genus Budytes. While the Motacille are circumscribed in the range of their area, the Calobates
sulphurea is found at one season or another in nearly every portion of the Old World, Australia and New

Zealand excepted.
