The Painted Bunting is a common summer resident in Coahuila. Marsh and Stevenson (1938:287) wrote that Painted Buntings were common in summer in the foothills of the Sierra del Carmen, and they took a male at Piedra Blanca on July 25 and a female at Jardin del Sur on September 1. Amadon and Phillips (1947:580) remarked that two immature Painted Buntings, "apparently migrants, were taken at Las Delicias on August 10 and 11." Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:339) recorded breeding by _P. c. pallidior_ at Hipolito, 4200 feet, on July 1. Findley saw Painted Buntings 2 mi. S and 11 mi. E Nava on June 15, 1952. Dickerman saw Painted Buntings 4 mi. N San Isidro on May 10, 1954. Hardy saw Painted Buntings at Parras on July 4, 1955. All the University of Kansas specimens are typical of the larger subspecies _pallidior_. The dates (May 5, 10; June 15, 16, 22, 29) on which these specimens were collected, the sizes of the testes (9x6 mm.; 6x5 mm.; 7x3 mm.) of Nos. 32140, 31547, and 31546, respectively, and the size of the largest ovum (2.5 mm.) of No. 32142 indicate breeding by _P. c. pallidior_ in Coahuila. _Carpodacus cassinii_ Baird.--Cassin's Finch is an uncommon winter migrant in Coahuila. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:314) listed _C. cassinii_ from Sierra Guadalupe. *_Carpodacus mexicanus potosinus_ Griscom.--_Specimens examined:_ total 8: [Male] 35417 from 13 mi.
