Flaw from the grass to low brush. I suppose them to be carpalis but as I have no description of carpalis I may be incorrect in assigning that name Saccets and seeds. Shot at short range, and the tail of 234 is nearly torn off. Notice the short claws on The hind toes of 233. 5922 235 Vires fireillius 5.1X7.8 ♀ 5923 236 Vires [illegible] Cottini 5.6x8.7 ♀ 5924 237 Empidonax [illegible] hammondi 5.3X6.7 ♂ 5925 238 Picus scalaris 7.1X13.2 ♂ Seen fly from nest and shot 5926 2 eggs broken (94%) 5927 239 Lophortyx gambeli 11.8X14.9 ♀ 10.5x14.1 ♂
