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. | Vol. VI. Pl. 27. |
Genus Limosa, Briss.
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 Melanuroïdes, Gould | Vol. VI. Pl. 28. |
| 485. Limosa uropygialis, Gould | Vol. VI. Pl. 29. |
Genus Schœniclus, Mœhr.
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. Schœniclus Australis | Vol. VI. Pl. 30. |
| 487. Schœniclus albescens | Vol. VI. Pl. 31. |
| 488. Schœniclus subarquatus | Vol. VI. Pl. 32. |
| 489. Schœniclus magnus, Gould | Vol. VI. Pl. 33. |
This species, I believe, also inhabits India and Japan.
