AVIFAUNA OF LAYSAN, ETC. 



There is no evidence whatever about the home of this Rail, except Latham's statement that 

 it inhabits the Sandwich Islands. If it was obtained there during Cook's voyage it was 

 most likely from Hawaii, where most of his birds were procured. 



The plate in the ' Aves Hawaiienses ' is made by Erohawk, and the one in this work by 

 Keulemans from the Leyclen example. Both artists had specially to travel to Leyden for 

 the purpose.
