Saw-Bill

a family of birds, Trinitiaæ, order Insessores, comprising birds with the bill as long as the head, gently decurved near the tip, but not hooked, and the cutting edges dentated; the tarsi rather long, feet large, the middle and outer toes connected for more than half their length. This family is represented in North America by Monotus cæruliceps, the saw-bill of Mexico.
