. Bill short ; the tail exceeding the 



culmen in length. 



d" . Tarsus very long, exceeding the bill 



in length ; the bare part of the 



tibia equal to about half the length 



of the tarsus. 



d'". Toes long, the tarsus not twice the 



length of the inner toe and claw. 



e 4 . No ornamental shield ; sexes 



alike in size ; tail nearly square, 



the centre feathers exceeding 



the outer rectrices by less than 



the length of the hind toe and

 cated 56. Bartramia. p. 509. 



* These two genera are very closely allied, much more so than would be at 

 first supposed; but Ttrekia is evidently a long-billed genus akin to Tringoide?, 

 while Fseiuloyluttis is a web-toed Greeushank.
