117. * Land Rail {Crex pratensis). 
A summer migrant somewhat uncertain as to numbers, but by 
no means abundant. Mr. Stevenson lias recorded the autumns 
of 1851, 18.57, and 1869, as periods of exceptional abundance 
of this .species. 
118. SroTTED Crake {Porzana maruetta). 
A spring and autumn migrant not unfrequcntly found as late a.s 
tho months of October and November. A few pairs doubtless 
remain annually to breed in tho Broads, but the nest is rarely 
found. 
149. Little Crake {Porzana pan'a). 
Since the first recorded occurrence of this species in Norfolk in 
May, 1812, some eleven other authentic specimens have been 
mot with, tho last being in October, 1880. One or two other 
instances of its supposed occurrence arc not so satisfactory, as 
there is a possibility of Baillon’s Crake having been mistaken for 
this species. 
* In conpequcjico of the accidental omission of the Nuthatch in tho first 
section of this list, all the spo'jies subsequent to No. 70 arc incorrectly 
numbered, with the present .species the correct numbering is resumed.
