Migration of the Wagtail

THE inclosed extract from the New York Evening Post, a newspaper of high standing for accuracy and intelligence, con tains statements which are not, I think, generally known in regard to the migration of the water-wagtail, and your insertion of the same may be the means of drawing from other correspondents some evidence in confirmation or disproof. Though riding is not quite unknown among animals other than, men, yet such purposeful ridicg as is here described is, to say the least, very extraordinary.
