The folloNving species of extinct Rails have been placed under the 

 genus Eallus ; but inasmuch as thcj' are founded mostly on single 

 bones, the exact genera to which they belong may be modified on a 

 discovery of further remains, and I have therefore contented myself 

 with merely recording them (c/. Lydekker, Cat. Foss. B. p. 1-14) : —
