its colour, but the brown has less of the reddish-brown shade. The 

 plumes round the eye, especially on the under and hinder parts, 

 white. Behind the eye a broad streak of olive-grey. The markings 

 of the wings and tail are characteristic of the present species ; these 

 are throughout barred with black, as in the species of Troglodytes. 

 Bill and feet dark. Total length about 5*2 inches, bill fi'om front 

 0-55, wing 2-55, tail 2-3, tarsus 0-95. 



The Peruvian Brown Wren was discovered by M. Constantin 

 Jelski at Maraynioc in Peru. I have never seen the species.

It should be noted that M. Taczanowski (P. Z. S. 1874, p. 505, 

 1880, p. 191) refers to Thryothonts andax, Tschudi, as a true 

 Troglodytes. I am still in ignorance as to the affinities of Tschudi's 

 species.

Above cinnamon ; the head ashy grey ; the back tinged with

 mandible yellow ; feet and iris brown. Total length 5-9 inches, 

 wing 2-8, tail 2-G5, tarsus 0-9, bUl from gape 0-8. 



Jelski's "Wren was discovered in Central Peru by M. Constantin 

 Jelski. I have never seen an example ; but Taczanowski states 

 that the species is close to T. coraya, but differs in having no 

 streaks on the sides of the face, in the different colour of the head 

 and under surface of the body, in the bands on the tail being 

 rufous instead of ashy, and in the considerably shorter biU. It is 

 apparently closely allied to the bird I have called in this volume 

 T. amazonicus.
