PLATE CXXII.— Male. 
• 
A single specimen of this Wren which differs considerably from Troglo- 
dytes hyemalis and T. europceus , has been sent to me by Mr. Townsend, 
who procured it on the Columbia river, along with several others, all exactly

stouter, and decidedly arched. The wings also are considerably longer, as 
is the tail in a still greater degree. The plumage is similar, and presents 
nearly the same markings, but the colours are much paler, and the lower 
parts nearly greyish-white. This, however, may be merely The effect of 
the weather. This species may be briefly characterized as follows :
