Bill  as  long  as,  or  rather  longer  than,  the  head,  with  the  culmen  straight,  and  the  sides  compressed 
towards  the  tip,  which  is  curved  and  acute ;  the  nostrils  linear,  and  placed  in  a  lateral  membranous 
groove,  which  extends  to  near  the  tip  on  both  sides.  Wings  reaching  beyond  the  middle  of  the  tail, 
and  pointed,  with  the  first  quill  the  longest.  Tail  long,  broad,  and  much  rounded.  Tarsi  long, 
moderately  strong,  and  covered  in  front  with  narrow  transverse  scales.  Toes  long,  with  the  outer  one 
united  at  the  base  by  a  membrane  to  the  middle  toe,  the  inner  one  free  ;  the  hind  toe  moderate,  elevated  ; 
the  claws  short  and  acute. 
The  species  of  this  genus  arc  found  in  both  the  Old  and  New  Worlds.  They  are  usually  observed  in  small  parties 
on  the  margins  of  fresh-water  lakes,  pools,  and  rivers,  and  rarely,  if  ever,  appear  on  the  sea  shore,  but  prefer  the 
interior  of  the  countries  which  they  visit  during  their  periodical  migrations.  They  fly  with  rapidity  and  gracefulness, 
though  not  always  in  a  direct  course,  but  make  occasional  circuitous  sweeps  during  their  flight.  While  on  the  ground 
they  possess  a  singular  habit  of  continually  moving  their  tails  up  and  down,  and  are  capable  of  running  with  very  great 
speed.    Their  food  consists  of  small  molluscous  animals,  insects,  worms,  and  the  fry  of  fish;  the  former  of  these  they 
*  The  Prince  of  Canino  established  this  division  in  1831.  It  embraces  Bartramia  of  M.  Lesson  (1831),  with  which  Actidurus  of  the
