 Porzana Carolina (Linnaeus). 

 Plate 59. 



A native of America, and differing chiefly from our European bird in having 

 a black face and throat, this species has been recorded four times in Great Britain, 

 the first in Berkshire, October 1864, the next in Glamorgan, 1888, the third on 

 Tiree, Inner Hebrides, October 1901, and the last obtained on the island of Lewis, 

 Outer Hebrides, in November 1913.
