Geographi- cal distribu- tion. The Austro-Malayan Stone-Curlew may be easily recognized either by its dlacA lores or by its great bill, which is more than \ inch deep at the nostrils. Its ear-coverts are nearly black, and it further resembles CE. recurvirostris in having nearly uniform upper parts, and a great deal of white on the innermost primaries. It is a resident on the coasts of the islands of the Malay Archipelago (Wallace, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1862, p. 346), ranging westwards beyond Sumatra to the Andaman Islands (Hume, Stray leathers, 1874, p. 290), northwards to the Philippine Islands (Walden, Trans. Zool. Soc. ix. p. 227), and southwards and eastwards along the north coast of Australia to New Caledonia (Layard, Ibis, 1882, p. 532).. ^iHr.
