The history of the stone curlew, charadrius oedicnemus is as follows.

I am assured now that it is the stone curlew (charadrius oedicnemus).

But the lapwing, (charadrius pluvialis Lin.)

We find also the heron, burong kuntul (ardea); the snipe, kandidi (scolopax); the coot, or water-hen, ayam ayer (fulica); and the plover, cheruling (charadrius).
