apex, and the sides compressed to the tip, which is hooked and acute; the gape 
furnished with bristles which are nearly as long as the bill; the nostrils lateral 
with the opening covered by a membranous scale. Wings long, reaching beyond 
the end of the tail and pointed, with the first or second quill the longest and 
the innermost quill extremely prolonged and sometimes deficient of webs except 
at the end. Tail rather lengthened and even or slightly emarginated at the end.
