INTRODUCTION. 
Genus H^matopus, Linn. 
I believe that there is no country in the world of any extent the shores of which are not inhabited by one or 
other of the numerous species of this genus ; but it would seem that all those which exist in the southern 
hemisphere are totally different from those of the northern. 
Two species inhabit Australia, viz. 
463. Hsematopus longirostris, Vieill. . . . . . ..... . Vol. VI. PI. 7. 
464. Hcematopus fuliginosus, Gould ............. Vol. VI. PI. 8. 
Genus Lobivanellus, Strickl. 
Two species of this beautiful form inhabit Australia, one the northern and the other the southern parts of the 
country ; I believe they are both confined to this portion of the globe. Other species are found in India and 
Africa. 
465. Lobivanellus lobatus Vol. VI. PI. 9. 
466. Lobivanellus personatus, Gould . . . ■ /■ • • • • • •

Genus Sarciophorus, Strickl. 
A genus nearly allied to the last, and of which a single species inhabits Australia ; like Lobivanellus, it is an 
Old World form. 
467. Sarciophorus pectoralis ............. Vol. VI. PI. 11. 
Genus Squatarola, Ciiv. 
The single species of this genus inhabits Europe, Asia, North America and Australia. 
468. Squatarola Helvetica Vol. VI. PI. 12. 
Genus Charadrius, Linn. 
The Australian fauna comprises two species of this form, of which one, the Charadrius veredus, might, 
perhaps, with propriety be separated into a distinct genus, or placed in that of Eudromias. 
469. Charadrius xanthocheilus, Wagl Vol. VI. PI. 13. 
470. Charadrius veredus, Gould • Vol. VI. PI. 14. 
Genus Eudromias, Boie. 
Of this genus of upland Plovers two species at least are known, viz. the E. morinellus of Europe and the 
E. Australis of Australia. 
471. Eudromias Australis, Gom/(? . . . . • • Vol. VI. PI. 15. 
This bird inhabits the low hills and plains of the interior, a kind of habitat precisely similar to that of its 
European prototype. 
Since my account of this species was written some additional information has been acquired respecting it.
