 Specimens from the Golden Eagle, A<{nil(i clirjjmeton

Colpocephalum grandiculum n. sp. (Plate VII, fig. 10). 



One specimen from a California Towhee, P'lpilo fus- 

 cus crissalts (Palo Alto, California). Also a single 

 specimen, much smaller, (otherwise not indicating 

 immaturity) from a Ileerman's Song Sparrow. Melo-

 because of the similarity in outline, characters of legs, 

 and general markings, may be referred to the same 

 species. The species resembles in general shape C.
