INTRODUCTION. 
Ixxxv 
Genus Terekia, Bonap. 
The only known species of this form inhabits Java, Sumatra, India and Europe, and as I killed a specimen in 
Australia that country must also be included within its range.

Genus Actitis, ///. 
One species of this genus inhabits Australia, where it represents the Actitis hypoleucus of Europe and Actitis 
macularius of America. 
491. Actitis empusa, Gould . Vol. VI. PI. 35. 
Genus Glottis, M'ls. 
The only species of this genus found in Australia appears to me to be identical with the Glottis Glotto'ides of 
India. 
492. Glottis Glottoides Vol. VI. PI. 36. 
Genus Totanus, Bechst. 
Of this genus two species are all that have yet been discovered in Australia ; one of these I have regarded as 
identical with the Totanus stagnatilis of Europe, and if this view be correct, then the range of the species will extend 
from Asia to Australia ; certain it is that I have seen specimens from all the intermediate countries which are strictly 
identical with the European bird. The second species is an inhabitant of the north coast, and is allied to the 
T. calidris. 
493. Totanus stagnatihs Vol. VI. PI. 37. 
494. Totanus griseopygius, Gould ............ Vol. VI. PI. 38. 
Genus Strepsilas, ///. 
If any bird may be regarded as a Cosmopolite it is the Turnstone, for it inhabits the sea-shores of every part 
of the globe. 
495. Strepsilas Interpres Vol. VI. PI. 39. 
Genus Scolopax, Linn. 
If the slight dilference which occurs in the Snipes from Port Essington on the north and from Van Diemen's 
Land on the south be regarded as mere local variations, then only one species of this form exists in Australia. 
496. Scolopax Austrahs, Lath Vol. VI. PI. 40. 
Captain Sturt informs us that this Snipe is common in South Australia, but scarce in the interior of the 
country ; that it breeds in great numbers in the valley of Mypunga, but is only to be found in those localities where 
the ground is constantly soft.
