visited the island.

ward.

together) on Barren Island, on the inner aspect of the outer crater to 
the south of the landing-place ; a visitant from the Nicobars.

Very common on both islands. 
Distrib. Cosmopolitan. 
15. Gallinula phoenicura Penn. (Water-Hen.) 
Barren Island. This was not met with by Mr. Hume and it is not 
a bird that one would expect to see in these islands. Tet each time we 
landed on Barren Island and each time we returned to the beach from 
the interior we observed in the vicinity of the small hot-spring at the 
landing-place what appeared to us to be the same individual of this 
species. On being disturbed it walked leisurely away and disappeared 
among the crevices of the adjacent black lava-flow. Mr. Hume notes 
his having met with the species in suitable localities everywhere from 
the G-reat Coco to'Acheen ; we must therefore suppose that the indivi¬ 
dual we saw had by some accident reached the island from one of the 
neighbouring members of the group and was making the best of the 
situation. 
Distrib. India ; Indo-China, Andamans ; Nicobars, Malaya.
