This HpecioH will be niadily distinj^uiHliod from T. mofJeduH, l)y 

 tiio very distinct bars on the wings; the broud«!r l»urs on the tuil; 

 tiie 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 I'araguuy ; but is larger, more rtifous above, 

 redd('r, and more regularly barred on tlu; tail, etc. In exteniiii 

 appearance it is vt^ry much like the Thryo}jhilu» lonyiroalriH, hut 

 the bill of the latter is much longer.*

' I And, in the collections of Mr. Lawrence and of the Philadelphia Acadciny, 

 three quite well marked KpecieH of long-billed Wrens (with the bill loiifter 

 than the tarsus). Tliey all agree in the entire absence of bands or spotH 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, ■trlolatUB (Max.). — Dark reddish-brown above, but little lighter be- 

 neath, except that the throat and cheeks are white; the Jugulnm and 

 middle line of the abdomen yellowish-brown. Cheek feathers edged witli 

 black. Tail with broad black bands wider than their reddish intervalH; 

 those on wings about as wide as their intervals. Bill from foreheiirl, 

 1.12, from nostril, .78 ; tarsus, about .95. Ilab, Rio Janeiro. Cab. A. N. Sc. 



T. longlrostris (Vieill,).— Generally similar to preceding, but mnch 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; tarsua, .90. Ilab. Bahia. Cab. 0. N. 

 Lawrence. 



T. albipeotUB (Cab.) — 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, continuoaH 

 white. Bill from forehead, .91), from nostril, .fi5 ; tarsus, .98 IIiil>. i 

 Cab. A. N. So, (This sixjoinion dilFors somewhat from Cabanis's descrip- 

 tion, especially in the pure white cheeks, and may really be diOerent.)
