mrkmanni ; pnd the diflFercnce between the longest primary and the 

 tenth amoiiUiS to .32 of an inch, instead of about .20 in adoti, whrre 

 the first quill is nearly half the length of the third, much luore than 

 half the length of the second. 



The original description of T. parkmanni mentions a more reddish 

 tiiiire than I detect in any specimens before me, perhaps because the 

 type was younger, or i\ autumnal dress. The dimensions agree 

 very well.

I am unable to throw any more light upon the relationship of the 

 Wood Wren to the Common Wren, than that presented in " Birds 

 N. Am." It is somewhat similar to 7\ parkmanni in size and pro- 

 portions, but instead of being paler than aedon is much darker.
