description of the Kiolo, in support of ou! 
assertion, that it is not exactly the same bir 
as our American Water- RaiL 
*> Kiolo," says Bnfion, '* is the name b 
which the natives of Cayenne express the cr 
or puling, of this Rail. It is heard in th 
evening, at the same hour as the Tinamous 
that isj at six o'clock : the instant when t 
sun sets in the equatorial climates. Their cr 
is the signal to assemble ; for, in the day 
time, they lurk dispersed and solitary in t 
wet-bushes. They make their nest in the litt 
low branches : it consists of a single sort 
leddish herb ; and is raised into a small vaul 
to prevent the rain from penetrating. Tk 
Rail is rather smaller than the Marouett^ 
The fore-side of it's body, and the crown 
it's head, are of a fine rufous ; and the upp( 
surface is washed with olive-greeii, on a brove 
u:;round. We conceive,"- concludes BufF( 
" that Edwards's Pennsylvanian Rail is 
saaie with this."
