Dr. Horsfield observes that the frontal clypeus is 
short, circumscribed, marginated, and slightly cari- 
nated in the middle ; that it greatly resembles the 
Red-tailed Water-Hen (Ortygometra phoenicura), but 
is more than a third larger ; has a black tail, and the 
clypeus of a different form. It is between fourteen 
and fifteen inches in length: the forehead and the 
sides of the head are white : the axillae and the lateral 
parts of the abdomen are black. Inhabits Java.
