dirty yellowish white, mixed here and there with olive, esjiecially oa the sides of 

 the body. Under tail-coverts whitish buff. Under wing-coverts and inner margin 

 of wings pale sulphur-yellow. Remiges, rectrices, and upper wing-coverts are 

 brownish black margined with brownish olive ; but the bases of all the remiges 

 are of a pure whitish sulphur-yellow, forming a broad oblique band on the folded 

 wing. Tiie outer webs of the innermost secondaries (last tertiaries) are of the 

 same colour, recalling the pattern of Todirostncm picaium. The under tail-covert.s 

 are of a rather fluffy structure, proving that the bird is still partly in its juvenile 

 plumage. 



Taeniotriccus arulrei is named after Mr. E. Andre, of Trinidad, its discoverer.

A nest with one egg was taken on June 25 at Caicara (parent bird no. 10970). 

 The nest was hanging four feet above the surface of a pool of water, in deep woods 

 along the river. The birds showed no excitement or uneasiness when the nest was 

 taken. The nest is about 25 cm. long, loosely constructed of dry grasses, leaves and 

 rushes, with an entrance hole near the middle. The egg is strikingly like that of 

 a Phylloscopus trochilws, being white with some red-brown spots, and measuring 

 16 by 12-5 mm.
