ANTHUS. Generic Characters.—Beak straight, slender; the superior ridge at 
the base of the upper mandible rather elevated; the sides compressed towards the 
point; the tip-slightly bent downwards and emarginated. Nostrils basal, lateral, 
oval, partly concealed by a membrane. Wings with the first three quill-feathers 
very nearly equal in length, and the longest in the wing; the tertials very long. 
Toes three before, and one behind, with the outer toe united to the middle one as 
far as the first joint; hind claw curved, and more or less produced.
