The small size of our specimens of assessor from the turkey 

 buzzard, only two-thirds the ordinary assessor dimensions, 

 should be noted perhaps by a varietal name, as minor. 



Lipeurus heterographus Nitzsch. 

 Specimens from the domestic chicken (Canal Zone, 



Panama). 



Lipeurus variabilis Nitzsch. 



Specimens from the domestic chicken (Canal Zone, Pana- 

 ma). They seem to be Piaget's variety gamma recorded by 

 him from certain pheasants, but if we should undertake in 

 seriousness to subdivide this very variable species, variabilis, 

 into its varieties, it would lead to senseless pages of variation 



describing. 



Goniocotes gigas Taschenberg. 



Specimens from domestic chicken (Canal Zone, Panama). 



Laemobothrium delogramma Carriker. 



One male and two females from the turkey buzzard, Cath- 

 artes aura (Canal Zone, Panama). The three specimens are 

 larger than Carriker's measurements for the species. The 

 male is 9 mm. long and the females 10 mm. each. The male 

 is also considerably darker and more nearly wholly covered by 

 markings than Carriker's description calls for. But on the 

 whole if delogramma is a good species, and it seems to be 

 our specimens should be assigned to it. It is a species certainly 

 not far removed from Kellogg's L. gypsis from a griffon vul- 

 ture, Gyps kolbi, from the Eastern Transvaal. 



Colpocephalum kelloggi Osborn. 



Specimens from the turkey buzzard, Cathartes aura (Canal 

 Zone, Panama). The species was described from specimens 

 taken on the same host in Iowa and Nebraska. 



Colpocephalum longicaudum Nitzsch. 

 Specimen from a "fly catcher" (Canal Zone, Panama). 



Menopon alternatum Osborn. 



Specimens from the turkey buzzard, Cathartes aura, (Canal 

 Zone, Panama). The species was described from specimens 

 from the same host from Iowa and Nebraska.
