ed that a single juvenile taken by Marsh on August 28 from Jardin del Sur and allocated to _P. f. potosinus_ by Davis probably is _P. f. texanus_. _Calamospiza melanocorys_ Stejneger.--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Male] 30239, from 10 mi. E Torreon, 3700 ft., January 9, 1951. The Lark Bunting is an uncommon winter visitant in Coahuila. Other than the present specimen, the only record of the Lark Bunting in Coahuila is that of Burleigh and Lowery (1942:207), who reported a small flock of this species from which several specimens were collected "on April 20 in a field on the edge of Saltillo." _Passerculus sandwichensis oblitus_ Peters and Griscom.--Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:364) recorded _P. s. oblitus_ from Sabinas on February 25 and March 18 and 24. These records represent sparse winter visitants to Coahuila. _Passerculus sandwichensis brooksi_ Bishop.--Burleigh and Lowery (1942:208) recorded _P. s. brooksi_ from Diamante Pass in April; Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:363) remarked that this specimen is perhaps best regarded as a variant of one of the races normally wintering in this area. _Passerculus sandwichensis anthinus_ Bonaparte.--_Specimens examined:_ total 3: [Male] 31104 from 10 mi. E Hacienda La Mariposa, 2000 ft., March 30, 1952, weight 15 gms.; [Female] 31105 from 8 mi. N, 4 mi. W Muzquiz, 1800 ft., April 1, 1952, weight, 19.0 gms.; and [Female] 31594 from 17 mi. S Ocampo, 5300 ft., April 7, 1954, weight, 16 gms. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:208) recorded _P. s. anthinus_ from Diamante Pass. This subspecies is not uncommon in Coahuila. The University of Kansas specimens showed no indication of breeding. _Passerculus sandwichensis nevadensis_ Grinnell.--This subspecies of the Savannah Sparrow is uncommon in Coahuila; Hellmayr (1938:490) listed one specimen from Sabinas. _Passerculus sandwichensis brunnescens_ (Butler).--Burleigh and Lowery (1942:208) recorded this subspecies of the Savannah Sparrow from Diamante Pass in April. _Ammodramus savannarum perpallidus_ (Coues).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Female] 31562, from 3 mi. N, 4 mi. E San Francisco (=25 mi. N Ocampo), 4850 ft., May 16, 1954, weight, 15 gms. The Grasshopper Sparrow is an uncommon spring and possibly fall migrant in Coahuila. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:367) recorded _A. s. perpallidus_ from Sabinas on March 12. No. 31562, which was obtained in a yucca and acacia association, had
