.; 10x8 mm.) of Nos. 31536, 31537,
32605, and 32604, respectively, and the size of the largest ovum (2
mm.) of No. 32603 as well as the dates (June 19, 23; July 3, 4) on
which all these specimens were collected indicate breeding by this
species in the State.
*_Icterus cucullatus cucullatus_ Swainson.--_Specimens examined:_ total
2: [Male] 32123 from 2 mi. W Jimenez, 850 ft., June 21, 1952; and
[Male] 32122 from 2 mi. S, 3 mi. E San Juan de Sabinas, 1160 ft., June
23, 1952.
The Hooded Oriole apparently is uncommon in Coahuila. Miller,
Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:290) listed _I. c. cucullatus_ from
Sabinas. The size of the testes (11x6 mm.) of No. 32122 and the dates
(June 21, 23) on which Nos. 32123 and 32122 were collected as well as
the juvenile male (tail, 80.5 mm.) from 2 mi. W Jimenez suggest
breeding by this subspecies in Coahuila.
*_Icterus parisorum_ Bonaparte.--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Female]
32121, from 7 mi. S, 4 mi. E Bella Union, 7200 ft., June 25, 1952.
Scott's Oriole is common in Coahuila. Miller (1955a:173) found this
oriole breeding in the canyons at the base of the Sierra del Carmen.
Burleigh and Lowery (1942:205) found this oriole limited to the higher
altitudes above 7000 feet, and took specimens at Diamante Pass and at
the Chorro del Agua on April 19. Amadon and Phillips (1947:579) found
Scott's Oriole "not uncommon in the arroyos near Las Delicias" and
reported a juvenile "barely out of the nest and able to fly only a few
feet ..." on August 15. No. 32121 had an egg in its oviduct. Dickerman
saw Scott's Orioles in the Sierra del Pino on May 12, 1954, and 16 mi.
E and 18 mi. N Ocampo on May 7, 1954.
**_Icterus wagleri wagleri_ Sclater.--Ridgway (1902:268) recorded
_Icterus wagleri_ from Saltillo. Hellmayr (1937:122-123) referred this
record of Wagler's Oriole to _I. w. wagleri_.
*_Icterus bullockii bullockii_ (Swainson).--This subspecies of
Bullock's Oriole was listed as breeding by Miller, Friedmann, Griscom,
and Moore (1957:282) at Monclova on May 12-19.
_Euphagus cyanocephalus_ (Wagler).--Brewer's Blackbird is a common
migrant in Coahuila. Miller (1955a:174) found a few as migrants in the
Sierra del Carmen on April 27. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:205) remarked
that "this blackbird was characteristically a bird of the towns and
villages, the scattered flocks being invariably seen feeding in the
streets and near the houses." They (_loc. cit._) obtained three
specimens at Dia
