canutus Linneeus.) 
Anteliotringa® Matuews, Birds Australia, iii, pt. 3, Aug. 18, 1913, 274. (Type, 
by original designation, Totanus tenuirostris Horsfield.) 
Large Eroliine (wing 152—180 mm.) with the straight and rather 
stout bill longer than tarsus, and tail with middle rectrices not 
projecting. 
Bill longer than head (longer than tarsus, more than one-fifth as 
long as wing), stout basally (its depth at base equal to about one- 
fourth the length of exposed culmen), tapering rapidly terminally 
in lateral profile, but in vertical profile appreciably contracted in 
width in middle portion and slightly expanded terminally; nasal 
groove broad basally, gradually but rather rapidly contracted 
anteriorly, extending nearly to tip of maxilla; mandible also with a 
distinct, but much narrower, lateral groove; nostril sub-basal, longi- 
tudinally linear, in lower part of nasal fossa; loral antia nearly 
truncate, gradually receding above to the frontal line, which forms 
a distinct concavity at base of culmen; malar antia forming a short 
obtuse angle (in C. canutus) or a more elongated acute angle (in 
C. tenuirostris) decidedly anterior to the loral antia; mental antia 
anterior to malar antia, but occupying only extreme posterior portion 
of the interramal space, which is mostly occupied by naked mem- 
brane. Wing long and pointed, the longest primary (outermost) 
exceeding distal secondaries by more than half the length of wing; 
longest tertials (more or less cuneate) falling short of longést primary 
by about length of middle toe with claw (in @. canutus) to nearly 
twice as much (in (C7. tenwirostris). Tail less than two-fifths as long 
@"Avraduos, eastern+ Tringa (rpby=yas, a kind of bird). (Mathews.)
