There is a general appearance about the AVrens from South 

 America that makes them casih' recognizable. Their tawny flanks 

 and under tail-coyerts, which are quite uniform, the narrow barring 

 on the tail, and the uniform upper surface are all characters which 

 distinguish them ; and taken by themselyes they are distinct enough 

 from aU except the Chilian birds.
