Troglodytes ewropaeus, Bon. Obs. Wils. 1825; No. 137.—Nurratt, Man. I, 1832, 427. 
Spe. Cu.—Bill very straight, slender, and conical ; shorter than the head. Tail considerably shorter than the wings, which 
reach to its middle. 
Upper parts reddish brown ; becoming brighter to the rump and tail ; everywhere, except on the head and 
upper part of the back, with transverse bars of dusky and of lighter. Scapulars and wing coverts with spots of white. 
Beneath pale reddish brown, barred on the posterior half of the body with dusky and whitish, and spotted with white more 
anteriorly ; outer web of primaries similarly spotted with pale brownish white. An indistinct pale line over the eye. Length, 
about 4 inches ; wing, 1.66; tail, 1.26. 
Hab.—North America generally. 
Western specimens of this species appear to be of a darker reddish brown generally than in 
the eastern, and perhaps a little larger. Northern ones are decidedly largest. 
This wren is so exceedingly like the European Troglodytes parvulus,! that I candidly confess 
my inability to distinguish the single specimen of the latter before me (9216 from Niirnberg,) 
from American skins.
