The Wrexs {Troylodytesy Cuv.)—Merely differ in having the beak still more slender, and a little arcuated.[They are properly an American group, of which one species only occurs inthe eastern hemisphere.] The European Wren (J/o^/ro^orfv/e*, Lin.)—Bromi and transversely striated, with rather a short tail, gene-rally held erect. It builds a domed nest, and sings agreeably, even in the depth of winter. [America produces numerous others, and there are even many well-marked divisions of them.] Some of theforeign species inosculate with the Antcatchers, and others with the Tree-creepers.
