This little Rail most nearly resembles the female of 

 S. elegans (Smith), but differs in having the middle of the 

 breast and the belly conspicuously white, with somewhat 

 faint transverse bars of dark brown. Total length ca. 

 (5 inches; wing 3*55 ; tail 1*5 ; tarsus l'l. 



Mr. Bury mentions that this Rail was found along the 

 irrigation channels : on learning that it was certainly a 

 new species, he took special trouble to procure additional 

 examples, but never met with it again.
