Eggs Cinclus mexkanus. The slightly upward bend of the bill, somewhat as mAnthiu^, renders the ciilmen concave, and the commissure slightly convex. The maxilla at base is nearly as high as the man-. dible ; the whole bill is much com- pressed and attenuated. The Lit- eral claws barely reach the base of the middle one, which is broad; the inner face extended into a horny lamina, with one or two notclies or pectinations
