Six of the eight X-ray bursts from the Rapid Burster (RB) which were detected by the Astron mission on April 13 and 28, and on August 16, 1983, are noted to have been trailing bursts exhibiting spectral softening during the burst decay. It is suggested that these may be related to type I bursts. The spectral evolution of two trailing bursts was investigated by fitting their spectra in consecutive time intervals with the blackbody model, the isothermal scattering photosphere (SP) model, and the thermal bremsstrahlung model (TM). While the SP model is the best fit around the burst maxima, the TB model is generally superior around the burst tails.
