*WAGTAIL WHITE, 75. 1. Motacilla alba, appears.

The wagtail is said by Willoughby to remain with us all the year in the severest weather. It seems to me to shift its quarters at least, if it does not go out of England. However, it is certainly a bird of passage in some countries, if we can believe Aldrovandus, the Author of the Swed sh Calendar, and the author of the treatise De Migrationibus Avium. Linnæus observes, S. N. Art. Motacilla, that most birds which live upon insects, and not grains, migrate.

*Linnæus says, that the female chaffinch goes to Italy alone, through Holland; and that the male in the spring, changing its note, foretells the summer: and Gesner, ornithol. p. 358. says, that the temale chaffinch disappears in Switzerland in the winter, but not the male.

Pliny, Nat. Hist. lib. 11. § 5. says, that bees do not come out of their hives before May 11, and seems to blame Aristotle for saying that they come out in the beginning of Spring, i. e. March 12.

* According to Ptolemy, swallows return to Ægypt about the latter end of January.

From morn 'till eve, 'tis music all around;
Nor dost thou, Philomel, disdain to join,
Even in the mid-day glare, and aid the quire.
But thy sweet song calls for an hour apart.
When solemn night beneath his canopy,
Enrich'd with stars, by Silence and by Sleep
Attended, sits, and nods in awful state;
Or when the Moon in her refulgent car,
Triumphant rides amidst the silver clouds,
Tinging them as she passes, and with rays
Of mildest lustre gilds the scene below;

While zephyrs bland breathe thro' the thickening shade,
With breath so gentle, and so soft, that e'en

The poplar's trembling leaf forgets to move,
And mimic with its sound the vernal shower;

Then let me sit, and listen to thy straius, &c.
