The Godwit feems to vary much; in fome, the under coverts and 
fides have black markings, in others plain: the rump alfo is more or 
Jefs white, as alfo the bafe of the outer tail feathers, otherwife black : 
great fimilarity appears to be between this and the Red Godwit; but 
from the rarity of both in this kinedom, it is to be feared a clear dif- 
crimination between thefe will not foon be effected.
