ORDER VI.— Palmipedes. 
This order contains generally such birds as are web-footed, and 
fitted for an aquatic life. It is divided into four natural families ; 
1. the Brachyptera, or Divers ; 2. the Longipennes , or High-flying 
birds ; 3. the Totipalmes, in which the thumb, as well as the other 
toes, is included in the common web or membrane of the foot ; and, 
4. the Lamellirostres, which have the bill furnished with rows of 
laminae, resembling fine teeth.
