BRITISH BIRDS. 
Roujfe^ the male. Red Godwit. The colours are 
the fame in both, but the feathers of the female 
are not fo variegated, clouded and barred, being of 
a more uniform rufous, or rufl: colour, on the head, 
neck, breaft, and belly, and on the upper parts of 
a more plain brown. His defcriptions agree with 
the foregoing, except that the tail of his Grande 
Barge Roulfe is plain brown, and that of the fpe- 
cimen from which the above drawing was made, is 
barred with rufl colour. 
The foregoing figure and defcription were taken 
from a bird in full plumage, fent to the author by 
the Rev. J. Davies, fenior fellow of Trinity Col- 
ledge, Cambridge, to whom he is indebted for moft 
of the fen birds.
