132 REVIEW OF AMERICAN BIRDS. [PART I. 
2.10 ; graduation, .46 ; length of bill from forehead, .72, from nostril, .50, along 
gape, .85; tarsus, .92; middle toe and claw, .82; hind toe and claw, .68; claw 
alone, .30. 
This species will be readily distinguished from 7. modestus, hy 
the very distinct bars on the wings; the broader bars on the tail ; 
the deeper fulvous color beneath, extending over the belly and 
breast ; and the fulvous, instead of white, edge and lining of the 
wing. The tail is shorter; the toes longer. It is somewhat similar 
to a species from Paraguay; but is larger, more rufous above, 
redder, and more regularly barred on the tail, ete. In external 
appearance it is very much like the Zhryophilus longirostris, but 
the bill of the latter is much longer.*

! | find, in the collections of Mr. Lawrence and of the Philadelphia Academy, 
three quite well marked species of long-billed Wrens (with the bill longer 
than the tarsus). They all agree in the entire absence of bands or spots on 
the under parts, and in having the top of head more dusky than the back, 
rump, and tail coverts. They may be characterized as follows :— 
T. striolatus (Max.).—Dark reddish-brown above, but little lighter be- 
neath, except that the throat and cheeks are white; the jugulum and 
middle line of the abdomen yellowish-brown. Cheek feathers edged with 
black. Tail with broad black bands wider than their reddish intervals ; 
those on wings about as wide as their intervals. Bill from forehead, 
1.12, from nostril, .78 ; tarsus, about .95. Hab. Rio Janeiro. Cab. A. N. Se. 
T. longirostris (ViriLu.).—Generally similar to preceding, but much paler. 
Lining of wings fulvous. Dark bands on wings and tail much narrower 
than their interspaces. Cheek feathers edged with black. Bill from 
forehead, 1.05, from nostril, .76; tarsus, .90. Hab. Bahia. Cab. G. N. 
Lawrence. 
T. albipectus (Cas.)—Above still paler than preceding. Top of head appre- 
ciably more dusky ; bands on wings and tail about equal to their inter- 
spaces. Beneath, including lining of wings, white, slightly soiled with 
brownish-yellow on the sides and behind. Cheeks pure, continuous 
white. Bill from forehead, .99, from nostril, .65; tarsus, .98 Hab. ? 
Cab. A. N. Se. (This specimen differs somewhat from Cabanis’s descrip- 
tion, especially in the pure white cheeks, and may really be different.)
