RALLINA FASCIATA. 269 
Rallina fasciata, Schl. Mus. Pays-Bas, Ralli, p. 19. 
Spec. 5. »dans la livrée de passage, variété a remiges 
sans bandes blanches” is really Limnobaenus Paykulli. 
Crex dimidiata, Schl. Cat. Ralli, p. 27. 
N° 6 is the female of Corethrura elegans. 
Porzana intermedia.

Further examination and a larger series of specimens 
will be necessary before the exact eastern range of Baillon’s 
crake can be determined. In the Leyden Museum there is 
an undoubted specimen of the true P. intermedia from 
Lake Baikal, where P. pusilla might have been expected. 
Porzana tabuensis. 
Porzana tabuensis (Gm.): Sharpe, Cat. B. XXIII, p. 111. 
This species varies greatly in dimensions, but I cannot 
see any constant characters by which any races could be 
distinguished. N°, i and 2 of Schlegel’s Catalogue (p. 36) 
have the wing 3.4 inches, and the tarsus 1.0—1.15. N° 
3 from West Australia has the wing 3.5 and the tarsus 
1.2, while specimens from Viti Levu and the Philippines 
(N° 4) have the wing 3.0 and the tarsus 0.95—1.0. 
Pennula sandwichensis. 
The typical specimen of this bird in the Leyden Muse- 
um has shown me, that I was in error, in uniting it to 
P. ecaudata. It has a streaked upper surface, very different 
from the uniform back of P. ecaudata. 
Corethrura pulchra. 
Corethrura pulchra (J. B. Gray); Sharpe, t.c. p. 116. 
A young bird in changing plumage is very interesting. 
It has the rufous head and chest of the adult, but the 
centre of the fore-neck and the rest of the under surface 
are light brown, with a few freshly moulted white-spotted 
feathers interspersed.
