Gallinule in fhape and make, but is much fuperior in 
iize, being as Izlge as a dunghil fowl. The length 
from the end of the bill to that of the claws is two feet 
three inches : the bill is very fhout, and the colour of it, 
the whole of the top of the head, and the irides red ; 
the lides of the head round the eyes are reddifli, very 
thinly fprinkled with white feathers ; the whole of the 
plumage without exception is white. The legs the 
colour of the bill. 
This fpecies is pretty common on Lord Howe's Ifland, 
Norfolk Ifland, and other places, and is a very tame 
fpecies. The other fex, fuppofed to be the male, is faid 
to have fome blue on the wings.
