HABROPTILA. 
Bill longer than the head, strong, with the culmen at the base 
elevated, broad, rounded posteriorly, and gradually descending to- 
wards the tip, which is suddenly curved ; the sides compressed to 
the tip, which is slightly emarginated ; the gonys moderate, slightly 
angulated and advancing upwards ; nostrils placed in a membranous 
groove, which extends beyond the middle of the bill, with the opening 
linear and near the base of the groove. Wings very short, lax, with 
the fourth to the seventh quills equal and longest. Tail very short 
and lax. Tarsi robust, as long as the middle toe, and covered with 
transverse scales. Toes rather robust and long ; the lateral toes equal, 
the hind toe moderate and strong. Claws moderate and compressed. 
Plumage in general very lax. The wings armed at the bend of the 
shoulder with a small spine. 
Hasroprita wauracii. (PI. CLXXII.)

wings and upper tail-coverts ; tail and quills black ; bill and feet 
red. 
Length 16", wings 7" 6'", bill 3", tarsi 3!" 2!" 
East Gilolo (Wail. Coll.). 
This curious bird approaches the Ocydromi in the shortness and 
softness of its wings; the feet are those of a Porphyrio. Yet its 
general appearance might cause it to be taken, at first sight, for a 
species of Hematopus.
