The idea of the bill "ladling" up the water, Ac, in large quantities. P.P., (Bo.), (Ula.), Won., Wal., Und., (Kal), (Mit.). Fig 44. Cockatoo, galah, parrot, Sfo. — Fingers closely apposed and flexed — the upper beak : the idea of a fop-knot is expressed by the subsequent sudden extension and separation of the digits. (P.P.), (Bo.), (Ula.), (Won), (Wal.), Und., (Kal.), (Mit.). Fig. 45. Cockatoo, galah, parrot, Sfc. — The beak is here indicated by the hooked forefinger tapping upon the upper gums... or incisors. P.P., Bo., (Ula.), Won., Wal, (Und.), (Kal.), (Mit.), Woo., Goa. Fig. 46. Buck. — The forefinger is brushed horizontally in front of the mouth.

Woo., Goa. Fig. 47. Black crow (Corvus). — Fingers all clawed and separate: a swift rotatory movement at wrist: the idea of digging up the earth for offal, &c.
