Order GRALLiE. 
Family Charadriida:. 
287. Esacus magnirostris (G. St.-Hil.). 
[This large Stone Plover is seldom met with on the coast of Borneo. During my four years’ 
collecting in the East I only saw three individuals. They frequent the sandy bays, either singly or in 
pairs. I once saw one of these Plovers hunting the large sand-crabs which abound at low water on the 
coasts. These crabs have wonderful power of dodging, stopping dead, and then running at full speed in 
the opposite direction ; so it took the Plover some long time before it could deal the crab a blow with 
its powerful beak.] 
288. Squatarola Helvetica (L.). 
289. Charadrius fulvus (Gm.).

is very common. Often enough, when passing a field, you do not observe this little Heron until suddenly 
dozens of snow-white wings (the small and dull-coloured body being difficult to see) open and slowly 
flap away.]
