* In ‘ The Ibis ’ for 1867 (p. 358) I mentioned three W ater-hens sent alive 
to me from St. Denys, an island some seventy miles to the north of the 
Seychelles, which then appeared to me to be referable to G. chloropus. 
I afterwards came to the conclusion, in which others agreed with me, that 
they deserved recognition as a distinct form. One of them made its escape 
from the Zoological Gardens, another was killed and eaten by a Gull, and the 
third, when it died, was so disfigured by its captivity of nearly four years 
that I have forborne to describe its remains.
