CIDE DICTIONARY
sheathbill, n. 
     Either one of two species of birds composing the genus Chionis, and family Chionidæ, native of the islands of the Antarctic seas.  [1913 Webster]
    " They are related to the gulls and the plovers, but more nearly to the latter. The base of the bill is covered with a saddle-shaped horny sheath, and the toes are only slightly webbed. The plumage of both species is white."  [1913 Webster]
