ORDER VL— Palmipedes. 



This order contains generally such birds as are web-footed, and 

 fitted for an aquatic life. It is divided into four natural families ; 

 1. \he Brachyjitera, or Divers ; 2. the Loiigijoennes, or High-flying 

 birds ; 3. the Totipalmes, in which the thumb, as well as the other 

 toes, is included in the common web or membrane of the foot ; and, 

 4. the Lamellirostres, which have the bill furnished with rows of 

 laminae, resembling fine teeth.
