This little Rail most nearly resembles the female o£ 
S. elegans (Smith), but differs in having the middle of the 
breast and the belly conspicuously white, with somewhat 
faint transverse bars of dark brown. Total length ca. 
6 inches ; wing 3*55 ; tail 1*5 ; tarsus IT. 
Mr. Bury mentions that this Rail was found along the 
irrigation channels : on learning that it was certainly a 
new species, he took special trouble to procure additional 
examples, but never met with it again.
