the testes (5x3 mm.) of No. 32104 and the
date (June 19) on which it was obtained indicate that the Red-eyed
Vireo possibly breeds in northeastern Coahuila; if so, this is the
first breeding record of the Red-eyed Vireo in Coahuila.
_Vireo gilvus gilvus_ (Vieillot).--This subspecies of the Warbling
Vireo is an uncommon migrant in Coahuila. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom,
and Moore (1957:232) recorded _V. g. gilvus_ from 12 mi. W Saltillo on
September 28.
_Mniotilta varia_ (Linnaeus).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Male] 31662,
from the north slope of Sierra Guadalupe (=11 mi. S, 7 mi. W General
Cepeda), 7800 ft., April 20, 1953, weight, 10 gms., testes not
enlarged.
The Black and White Warbler is an uncommon visitant or migrant in
Coahuila. Miller (1955a:172) remarked that Marsh took a fall migrant on
September 1 in Chuperosa Canyon in the Sierra del Carmen. Burleigh and
Lowery (1942:202) secured a female Black and White Warbler "in an
orchard on the outskirts of Saltillo" on April 20 and a male "near the
top of Diamante Pass on April 23."
_Vermivora celata celata_ (Say).--_Specimens examined:_ total 2: sex ?
31091 from the Rio Grande (=17 mi. S Dryden, Terrell Co., Texas, in
Coahuila), 600 ft., March 19, 1952, measurements: wing, 57 mm.; tail,
47 mm.; weight, 7.7 gms.; and [Male] 31092 from 4 mi. W Hacienda La
Mariposa, 2300 ft., March 25, 1952, measurements: wing, 62 mm.; tail,
48 mm.; weight, 9.2 gms.
This subspecies of the Orange-crowned Warbler is an uncommon migrant in
Coahuila. In Brewster County, Texas, Van Tyne and Sutton (1937:83)
found _V. c. celata_ "not common as a spring transient." Miller,
Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:239) recorded _V. c. celata_ from
Coahuila. The quality of the pale yellow color and the sizes of Nos.
31091-31092 suggest that they are representatives of _V. c. celata_.
_Vermivora celata orestera_ Oberholser.--Burleigh and Lowery (1942:202)
found _V. c. orestera_ "only on infrequent occasions ... in the open
woods surrounding the summit of Diamante Pass" where they obtained one
specimen.
_Vermivora virginiae_ (Baird).--Miller (1955a:172) took a male
Virginia's Warbler in Boquillas Canyon in the Sierra del Carmen "in
scattered scrubby oak growth with grass and cactus beneath." This
species in the Sierra del Carmen is considered "casual" by Miller,
Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:241).
**_Vermivora crissalis_ (Salvin and Godman).--_Specimen examined:_ one,
[Male] 315
