Trichas Swains * 
Rill moderate, strong, and straight, with the culmen gradually curved, and the sides compressed to 
the tip, which is acute and slightly emarginated ; the lateral margins indexed ; the gonys long and 
ascending, and the gape furnished with a few weak bristles ; the nostrils basal, and placed in a short 
hroad groove, with the opening exposed, and partly closed by a membranous scale. Wings moderate ; 
Avith the first quill much shorter than the second, which is rather shorter than the third and fourth. 
Jail moderate and broad. Tarsi rather longer than the middle toe, and covered in front with broad 
Sc ales. Toes moderate ; with the lateral toes equal, and the outer toe slightly united at the base ; the 
h^d toe long, strong, and armed with a strong curved (daw. 
The species of this genus are found both in North and South America. They live in the low bushes, continually 
seeking among the leaves for the caterpillars, spiders, and other kinds of insects that reside on them. If alarmed, 
tlle y dart into the midst of the bush, and remain quiet until the cause of alarm has subsided. At times they even search 
f ° r insects that hide in the fallen leaves that lie beneath the bushes. The nest is placed on the barren or swampy 
S r °und, or in a mossy limb of a fallen tree, composed outwardly of withered leaves and grass, lined interiorly with hair. 
S °metimes it is furnished with a dome-shaped covering. The female deposits from four to six eggs.
