Cogswell 1948 Rallus longirostris Oct. 31— Bay Farm Id., Alameda, Alameda Co., Calif. One rounded a pile of 3 logs in salicornia marsh along NE side of Island Road and skulked along from path of vegetation to another not over 50 ft. from us for a few moments. Dr. Miller squeaked slightly and it hurried around to far side of logs from us and out into salicornia there. Five of us then set out to flush it; but despite the fact that we tramped all the way across the salicornia area (a distance here of about 150 ft.) twice in fanned-out formation we did not see the bird again.
