Alecthelia and Corethncra were both proposed for the small Rails 

 here called Sarofhrura, but both names were already in use in 

 other connections. 



JBiensis and Lewinia are synonyms of Rallus. 



Rallina has been employed by various authors for a variety of 

 species. Reichenbach first proposed the name in his Synopsis Avium, 

 Vol. Ill, Rasores, Fam. Rallintie, including under it a large 

 number of species, and it has been generally used since for the 

 Rails allied to It. enryzona. It seems, however, that no type was 

 cited for the genus until the appearance of Reichenbach's Systema in 

 which he restricts the name to the South American species allied to 

 R. maxivms, this species being the type. Unfortunately this species 

 had already been made the type of the genus Aramides, so that Ral- 

 Ihia becomes a synonym of this latter genus and we must adopt the 

 name Euryzona Bonap. for the Rails allied to R. euryzona as already 

 proposed by Dr. Stejneger (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. , 1887, p. 396). 



Schizoptila is a pure synonym of Gymnoerex while Kittlizia is pre- 

 occupied and the name Aphanolimnas was proposed in its stead by 

 Dr. Sharpe.
