Grey Piover (winter plumage and young).

Genus Cuaraprius.

About five species are known, all characterized by the flavour of their flesh and the great seasonal changes
to which they are subject in summer and winter, and which have induced me to give two Plates illustrative
of them. One or other of the five species inhabit most parts of the entire globe, but are more abundant in

the Old than in the New World.
