BA•C, B. G. 1968. Olfaction in Rallidae (Gruiformes), a morphological study of thirteen species. J. Zool., 156: 97-107.---The olfactory structures of thirteen species of Rallidae •nd Turnix are described. Rallids have an average olfactory bulb-tohemisphere ratio of 23 per cent, about the middle of the scale in birds. The ratio in Turnlx is 12.5 per cent. Qualitative interspecific differences in secretory cells in the olfactory and lateral nasal glands occur, which may influence the reception or inhibition of particular odorants and thus be of behavioral importance.
