land rail

The wings are made of land-rail wing, and a little brown mallard, mixed nicely together.

Buffon, however, takes it with the land-rail; Gould and Yarrell put it between the little crake and water-hen.

In general appearance they resembled the land-rail, but were larger, and quite as heavy on the wing.

Not a sound broke the silence except the rough cry of the land-rail from the fields and the clatter of Missy's feet.
