Family MOTACILLID.

The Motacilide are among the most graceful of birds, and, from their familiarity, tameness of disposition,
and the sprightliness of their actions, are great favourites with every one who lives in the country, - They
have been judiciously separated into two distinct groups, the Pied and the Yellow Wagtails, the generic term
Motacilla being retained for the former, and that of Budytes for the latter. There is also another form, to
which the term Ca/obates has been applied ; of this only one or two species have yet been discovered ; of the
other genera many are known. All, both Pied and Yellow, are strictly confined to the Old World, more

particularly its northern portions.
Genus Moractiua.

I'wo species of this form inhabit Britain—one of which is resident, the other migratory ; in India there

are three or four; and in China and Japan we meet with as many more. Their natural province is the

ground ; but they readily perch on the branches of trees.
