Birds of Celebes: Charadriidae. 
755 
GENUS STREPSILAS 111. 
The Turnstone is about the size of a Thrush, has the bill about as long 
as the cranium, very slightly recurved, no dertrum or swollen tip, the maxil- 
lary groove not carried on to the terminal third; legs rather short, tarsus equal 
to middle toe and claw in length, anteriorly transversely scutellated; a small 
hallux present; toes cleft to the base, the soles broadened; wing long, the first 
large quill the longest, the middle secondaries less than half its length. 
The absence of a dertrum, the short tarsus, and the toes with no basal 
web serve to distinguish it from the Plovers, the short nasal groove from other 
Celebesian Limicolae, the short legs, etc. from Himantoptis. Almost cosmopolitan.
