Rallus
Description
Rallus sp. C
Santa Maria rail [Figure 20]
We refer the material from Santa Maria, consisting of ten bones (eight of them in a fragmentary condition) to Rallus sp. They probably belong to an endemic species also, but the available material is insufficient as to establish clearly its specific status.
Age: Probably Holocene-Recent.
