In this well-known bird we have another proof of the imper- fection of systematic arrangement, where no attention is paid to the general habits, but where one single circumstance is sometimes considered sufficient to determine the species. The genus plover is characterised by several strong family traits, one of which is that of wanting the bind toe.
