GOLDEN EAGLE. 19 
species are therefore figured as a vignette to the second 
British Eagle, to show the distinction. The foot on the 
left hand is that of the Golden Eagle, in which each toe 
is covered with small reticulations as far as the last pha- 
lanx, then with the three broad scales already referred to. 
In the foot of the White-tailed Eagle, represented by the 
figure on the right hand, the reticulations are confined 
to the tarsus, the whole length of each toe being covered 
with broad scales. 
The figure of the Golden Eagle at the head of this 
article was taken from a fine specimen at the Garden of 
the Zoological Society, where it has lived for eight years. 
The figures below represent the crystalline lens and the 
bony ring of the eye of the Golden Eagle, referred to at 
page 15.
