Genus Hamaropus, Linn.

I believe that there is no country in the world of any extent the shores of which are not inhabited by one or
other of the numerous species of this genus; but it would seem that all those which exist in the southern
hemisphere are totally different from those of the northern.

Two species inhabit Australia, viz.
463. Hematopus longirostris, Vierll. ; : . : : : : i : Vol. VI. Pl. 7.
464. Heematopus fuliginosus, Gould . : : : : : : . : : A ‘ Vol. VI. Pl. 8.
Genus Losivaneuuus, Strick.

Two species of this beautiful form inhabit Australia, one the northern and the other the southern parts of the
country; I believe they are both confined to this portion of the globe. Other species are found in India and
Africa.

Genus SarcropHorus, Strick.

A genus nearly allied to the last, and of which a single species inhabits Australia; like Lobivanellus, it is an
Old World form.

467. Sarciophorus pectoralis . : : : : : Wool, Wi, JBL Wil

Genus Squararoia, Cw.
The single species of this genus inhabits Europe, Asia, North America and Australia.

468. Squatarola Helvetica : ; VoleV ality ranle2

Genus Cuaraprius, Linn.

The Australian fauna comprises two species of this form, of which one, the Charadrius veredus, might,

perhaps, with propriety be separated into a distinct genus, or placed in that of Eudromias.

Genus Eupromias, Bove.

Of this genus of upland Plovers two species at least are known, viz. the Z. morinellus of Europe and the
EK. Australis of Australia.

471. Eudromias Australis, Gould . : : : : : : : : : é ; Vol Vile Rito

This bird inhabits the low hills and plains of the interior, a kind of habitat precisely similar to that of its
European prototype.

since my account of this species was written some additional information has been acquired respecting 1t.
