Wilson's snipe, Gallinago wi^soiii, from Tenney, after Wilson. form the family Trochilid^e The toes, however, are three The (Rasores, Alectoromorphae) partridge (^Perdix), grouse {Tetrao, Bonasd), jungle-fowl, including our domestic fowl {Galbis), pheasants {Phasianus, Thaii- maka), turkeys {Mt:ieci:^ns], peafowl (^Pavo). These have the hallux rudimen- tar)- and elevated above the other toes and two carotid arteries. The (Pullastrae) have usual!} two carotids and the hallux well developed and near the ground. The group is hardly to be distinguished as a family from the Gall- inae. It contains the doves and pigeons {Coluinba, Goura. Diduuciibis), as t\-pi- cal members, while the mound-birds (^Mci^apadins), the curassows {Crax). and the sand-grouse (Pterochs). are more aberrant. The dodo (Didiis), extermi- nated about two centuries ago. was an aberrant pigeon. The humming-birds , which has relations with the picarian birds, directed forwards as in the preceding Fig. 343. Bird of Paradise i^Taradisca apoda), female, from Hertwig, after Levaillant. Other characters are the presence of basipterj'goid processes and the existence of a single carotid. In the the first and fourth toes are directed backwards, while the palate is of the saurognathous type.
