(BAR-TAILED GOLDWIT.) • Limosa rufa, Brisson, Orn. v. p. 281 (1760); Leach, Syst. Cat. Mamm. &c. Brit. Mus. p. 82 (1816). The Eastern race of the Bar-tailed Goldwit has been described as distinct from the Western race, under the name of Limosa uropygialis (Gould, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1848, p. 38). In the Bar-tailed Godwit the basal half of the tail-feathers does not differ much from the terminal half in colour. The Eastern form. Limosa rufa. of the Bar-tailed Godwit differs from the European form in having the lower back and rump much more profusely streaked with brown; but as the two forms completely intergrade, it can only be regarded.
