R.K. Selander, 1954 O. zonatus 14 April 25 5mi. N San Fernando, 2000 ft., Chiapas, Mexico Hunting up the canyon from Ruben D'oz's house. In a gully adjacent to a small field of sugarcane and a stand of banana trees I found a group of 3-4 wrens. The vegetation consisted of a dense stand of deciduous and evergreen trees with a thick under- story of bushes & tiny plants, including a thorny mescal-type plant. Some seed-like plants occurred beneath the trees. I first noted these wrens at the edge of the stand while I was collecting a Saltator striatus. Several were perched in the trees and on vines but without calling. Finally one made a short nasal call unlike any I have heard this species give previously. I collected one bird - a female with an egg in the oviduct. The legs & feet of this bird are buffy or pale orange, lacking the yellow-olive of specimens taken at Las Casas. This color is very near the same as the more anterior portion of the buffy portion of the underparts. If constant it is certainly a good racial difference. Birds here are notably larger than those we saw and collected in the highlands around & Las Casas. I noted this in the field where these birds seem much larger. This was shown also by the weight of the female I collected today, which weighed more than the males at Las Casas. The bird is darker in color also and probably is fairly close to subspecies of Tabasco. - Apparently the wren
