199. TROGLODYTES .EDON ^DON (Vieillot) . 

 House Wren. 



Under date of Sept. 8, 1886, Dr. Avery records a house 

 wren, but this record is rather doubtful because he omit- 

 ted it from his "Birds Observed in Alabama." Again, 

 April 6, 1893, he notes in his journal: "A very small 

 wren was seen in a rose hedge. It was not the winter 

 wren nor Carolina nor Bewicks' hence it must have 

 been Troglodytes aedon." However, in 1893, a specimen 

 was taken at Greensboro and is still in the collection.
