? 31096 from 26 mi. W Santa Teresa, 7050 ft., April 5, 1952; and [Male]
31671 from Canyon d. Meco in Sierra Guadalupe (=10 mi. S General
Cepeda), April 23, 1953, weight, 11 gms.

The Painted Redstart seems to be locally common in Coahuila. Miller
(1955a:173) found these warblers breeding in the Sierra del Carmen and
said that they were "common from 6000 to 7500 feet in canyon bottom
growth, in oaks, and in mixed pines and oaks;" however, he did not see
any of these warblers above 7500 feet where conifers tended to dominate
the vegetation. Marsh and Stevenson (1938:287) obtained a male Painted
Redstart in annual molt on August 11 in oak and juniper forest at
Vivoras Spring in the Sierra del Carmen and reported seeing two other
Painted Redstarts at 9000 feet (see also Miller, 1955a:173). Dickerman
also saw seven Painted Redstarts 20 mi. S Ocampo on April 4, 1954. The
size of the testes (7x4 mm.) of No. 31671 suggests breeding by _S. p.
picta_ in the Sierra Guadalupe.

**_Passer domesticus domesticus_ (Linnaeus).--Burleigh and Lowery
(1942:204) remarked that the House Sparrow was not "a common bird
around Saltillo" although they noticed _P. d. domesticus_ regularly.
They reported House Sparrows also from the Chorro del Agua and in the
high mountain valley south of Diamante Pass. Miller, Friedmann,
Griscom, and Moore (1957:275) recorded _P. d. domesticus_ from Sabinas.
Baker captured House Sparrows in a bat net 12 mi. E San Antonio de las
Alazanas, 9950 feet, on July 5, 1955. Although there are no other
records, the House Sparrow is probably fairly common in the villages
and towns of the State.

[**_Sturnella magna hoopesi_ Stone.--The Eastern Meadowlark is uncommon
in Coahuila. The AOU Check-list Committee (1957:523) listed this
subspecies of the Eastern Meadowlark from northern Coahuila.]

**_Sturnella neglecta neglecta_ Audubon.--_Specimen examined:_ one,
[Female] 31098, from the Rio Grande (=17 mi. S Dryden, Terrell Co.,
Texas, in Coahuila), 600 ft., March 18, 1952, weight, 71.8 gms.

This subspecies of the Western Meadowlark seems to be locally common in
the open country of Coahuila. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:205) found this
meadowlark common "about Saltillo" where a "small series" of _S.
neglecta_ was obtained. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore
(1957:295) recorded the Western Meadowlark from El Diamante on July 7.
To my knowledge, no specific breeding records of this meadowlark from
Coahuila exist.
