hatch 13 mi. E San Antonio de las Alazanas on July 6, 1955. _Certhia familiaris americana_ Bonaparte.--_Specimens examined:_ total 2: [Female] 31612 from the base of Don Martin Dam, November 27, 1953, skull partially unossified; and [Female] 31587 from 20 mi. S Ocampo, 6500 ft., April 5, 1954, weight, 7 gms. This subspecies of the Brown Creeper can be considered a sparse winter visitant to Coahuila. Van Hoose (1955:302) reported that Nos. 31612 and 31587 constitute the southernmost records of _C. f. americana_ and represent the first records of occurrence of _americana_ in Mexico. _Certhia familiaris montana_ Ridgway.--Miller (1955a:169) reported this subspecies of the Brown Creeper, which he assumed to be a winter visitant or a migrant, in the Sierra del Carmen. He (_loc. cit._) remarked also that the higher conifers would seem to constitute favorable habitat for nesting by the Brown Creeper, but did not find any evidence of a breeding population of creepers in the Sierra del Carmen. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:143) reported _C. f. montana_ from San Lazaro Mountain on November 9. **_Certhia familiaris albescens_ Berlepsch.--_Specimens examined:_ total 3: sex ? 32805 from 13 mi. E San Antonio de las Alazanas, July 7, 1955; [Male] [Male] 31610-31611 from 3 mi. S, 13 mi. E San Antonio de las Alazanas, 8900 ft., January 12, 1954. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:143) reported _C. f. albescens_ from "southern Coahuila." Nos. 31610-31611 and 32805 represent the only other records of this subspecies from the State. The date (July 7) on which No. 32805 was obtained suggests that this bird was a resident 13 mi. E San Antonio de las Alazanas. _Troglodytes aedon parkmanii_ Audubon.--_Specimen examined:_ one, sex ? 29556, from 1.5 mi. N Parras, 5500 ft., November 10, 1949, weight, 9.8 gms. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:197) recorded the House Wren "in small numbers about Saltillo where occasional birds, presumably migrants, were noted in thickets or stretches of underbrush fringing cultivated fields." They obtained a single male "on the outskirts of Saltillo." Hellmayr (1934:218) listed _T. a. parkmanii_ from Sabinas. *_Troglodytes brunneicollis cahooni_ Brewster.--Typical representatives of this subspecies of the Brown-throated Wren occur in northern Coahuila. In the Sierra del Carmen, Miller (1955a:170) found _T. b. cahooni_ that in no way suggested _compositus_ of the Sierra Madre Orient
