Lesson (Tr. p. 538, no. 30) introduces, without description, a species of Rail said 

 to be from the Philippines, under the titles of " Bdle ecaude, Cuv., Gal. de Paris; 

 Gallinula circoleps, Temm." Bonaparte (Compt. Rend, xliii. p. 599, no. 382) classified 

 the same bird under Corethrura, and transformed Cuvier's French museum title into 

 Ballus ecaudatus, Cuv. This, in its turn, becomes caudatus, Cuv., in Mr. Gray's 

 Hand-list, no. 10474. Dr. Pucheran does not not notice this type ; and I am unable to 

 identify it.
