division into the two families of Rallinse and Gallinulinae 

 would not be productive of the least confusion, or give rise to 

 any misapprehension of importance. Of the first of these 

 groups, however, we have only one species in Britain, and, 

 as the propriety of a division is doubtful, I shall consider all 

 the birds of this order as forming a single family, of which 

 the typical genus appears to me to be Parra.
