Verifying the statements of S. F. Baird {Sev. Am. Birds, 1864, i). 109) respecting the tarsal 

 envelope of Salpinctes, and extending observations to Campylorhynchus, finding that in 

 the latter "the lateial plates, but especially the outer one, are broken up into a series of con- 

 spicuous scutella; and that Catherpes shows a tendency, not so fully expressed, to similar 

 division of the tarsal envelope ". In the tarsus of a species of ThamnopMlus, a typical Fonni- 

 cariau, "the plates are divided behind, and the general structure is substantially the same as 

 in Salpinctes''. The question of the systematic position of these genera is thus raised. 

 "These points may not suffice for the summary dismissal of the genera under consideration 

 from the Troglodytidce, but they go to show that their position in that family is not assured."
