Genus Recurvirostra. 
This form, like that of Himantopus, is widely distributed over 
the globe, since species inhabit America, Africa, Europe, India and 
Australia, in which latter country, as in Europe, only one species is 
found, viz. 
483. Recurvirostra rubricollis, Temm .... Yol. VI. PI. 27* 
Genus Limosa. 
Two very distinct species of this genus inhabit Australia, one the 
southern and the other the northern divisions of the country ; others 
occur in Java, Sumatra, India, Africa, Europe and North America. 
484. Limosa Melanuroides, Gould Yol. VI. PI. 28. 
485. Limosa uropygialis, Gould ...... Yol. YI. PI. 29. 
Genus Schceniclus. 
I have figured four species of this genus as inhabiting Australia, 
not more than one, or at most two, of which, however, is or are 
peculiar to that country. The species of this genus range over 
many degrees of latitude, and occur in America as well as in most 
parts of the Old World. 
486. Schceniclus Australis Vol. YI. PL 30. 
487. Schceniclus albescens Yol. YI. PI. 31. 
488. Schoeniclus subarquatus Yol. YI. PI. 32. 
489. Schceniclus magnus, Gould Yol. YI. PI. 33. 
This species, I believe, also inhabits India and Japan. 
Genus Terekia. 
The only known species of this form inhabits Java, Sumatra, India 
and Europe, and as I killed a specimen in Australia it enjoys a most 
extensive range. 
490. Terekia cinerea Yol. YI. PI. 34. 
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 Yol. YI. PI. 35. 
Genus Glottis. 
The only species of this genus found in Australia appears to me 
to be identical with the Glottis Glotto'ides of India.
