| Summary: | Recent continued studies on the arteries in the neck and thorax of seven species of Charadriiformes were made possible by the loan of alcoholic specimens from the anatomical collections of the Chicago Natural History Museum and the U. S. National Museum. The writer wishes to express his gratitude to Mr. Dwight D. Davis, Dr. Herbert Friedmann, and Dr. Alexander Wetmore for their help in making these materials available for this study. Except where otherwise indicated, single specimens were dissected and diagrams of the arterial arrangement-patterns prepared.
