Genus ELORNIS, Aymard \ 



Imperfectly known Flamingo-like birds, with the legs relatively 

 shorter than in Phaemcopterus, although longer than in Palceloclus. 

 The tibio-tarsus has a broad intercondylar tubercle, its shaft has the 

 same form as in the type genus ; and the upper part of the anterior 

 face of the tarso-metatarsus is deeply grooved, as in Phcenicopterus, 

 the nature of the talon being unknown. In the humerus of 

 E. (?) anr/licus, the surface of origin of the brachialis anticus has 

 the same form as in Phcenicopterus.
