 Sclater's original diagnosis, as well as Sharpe's description of an adult 

 female, in the British Museum, J indicate a bird so different from mine 

 as to leave no doubt of the specific distinctness of the two. 



Porzana albigularis (Lawr. ). 



Two adult males from Palomina, May. 



Columba albilinea Bp. 



One adult female from Palomina. 



Falco sparverius Linn.

 as this measurement is only approximate in any case, I give it for what it 

 is worth-
