YELLOW WREN, 
it among generic appellations. It might be 
termed, tie Little European Fig-Eater; and I 
•wonder that some nomenclator has not thought 
of this classification. It's French name Pou- 
iliot, is evidently derived from the Latin PuUus, 
or Pusiiius, signifying Small and Feeble. 
The Yellow Wren feeds on files, and 
other small insects. It's bill is slender, and ta- 
pered: the outside of a shining brown; tbe 
inside, and the edges, yellow. The plumage 
consists of two famt tints of greenish grey, 
and yellowish white:, the first spreads on the 
back, and the head. A yellowish line, rising 
from the corner of the bill, passes near the 
eye, and extends to the temple. The quills of 
the wings are of a dull grey; and; like those 
of the tail, have their outer edge fringed with 
greenish yellow. The throat is yellowish; 
and there Is a spot, of the same colour on each 
side of the breast, where the wing, rests. The 
belly and the stomach are white; which is 
more or less dashed with a weak yellow,, ac- 
cording to the age of the bird, or it's difference 
of sex. In general, the plumage of tha Yel- 
low Wren resembles that of the Gcld-Crest<^d 
Wren;
