BIRDS OF LOWER CALIFORNIA. 273 



88. Limosa fedoa (Linn.; 



Marbled Godwit. — Mr. Anthony considers tliem very 

 abundant in winter and a few were even seen all summer. 

 Large flocks of godwit were met with in the estero northward 

 from Magdalena Bay as late of April 21, 1888. One evening 

 a flock numbering towards one hundred had huddled on a 

 strip of sand at the edge of the mangroves preparatory to 

 spending the night, but were frightened away by the boat.

Pacific Godwit. — Found at La Paz by Mr. Belding. 



90. Totanus melanoleucus (Cimel.)

 very common in winter north of La Paz. They were toler- 

 ably common along the estero and some were seen about

Western Willet. — Mr. Belding mentions the wallet as
