l 23 on a slope at the mouth of Boquillas Canyon of the Sierra del Carmen; he presumed it to be a transient. _Zonotrichia leucophrys leucophrys_ (Forster).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Male] 30243, from 1 mi. SW San Pedro de las Colonias, 3700 ft., February 8, 1951. The White-crowned Sparrow is a fairly common migrant or winter visitant in Coahuila. Miller, Friedman, Griscom, and Moore (1957:393) recorded _Z. l. leucophrys_ from Sabinas on March 16 and February 23. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:212) remarked that "small flocks of White-crowned Sparrows were seen at infrequent intervals in thickets and stretches of underbrush on the outskirts of Saltillo on April 18 and again on April 24 ... [and] near a small town some twenty miles west of Saltillo on April 22." Specimens that Burleigh and Lowery (_loc. cit._) collected "near Saltillo" were identified as _Z. l. leucophrys_. _Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii_ (Nuttall).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Male] 31117, from Sierra de la Encantada (=38 mi. S, 23 mi. E Boquillas), 4400 ft., March 15, 1952. Miller (1955a:177) noted _Z. l. gambelii_ on April 27 at 4600 feet in Boquillas wash in the Sierra del Carmen. Hellmayr (1938:568) listed _Z. l. gambelii_ from Sabinas. _Zontrichia leucophrys oriantha_ Oberholser.--This subspecies has been recorded from Sabinas on April 25 and Hipolito on November 5 (Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore, 1957:393). _Melospiza lincolnii lincolnii_ (Audubon).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Female] 31595, from 20 mi. S Ocampo, 7000 ft., April 5, 1954, measurements: wing, 58 mm.; tail, 50 mm.; weight, 12 gms. Lincoln's Sparrow seems to be a fairly common migrant or winter visitant in Coahuila; _M. l. lincolnii_ is the common subspecies. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:212) found this sparrow only in a grain field situated between a small pond and a narrow stream on the outskirts of Saltillo; the four specimens collected were identified as _M. l. lincolnii_. No. 31595 was obtained in a pine-oak association. _Melospiza lincolnii alticola_ (Miller and McCabe).--Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:398) listed _M. l. alticola_, which seems to be uncommon in Coahuila, from Sabinas on March 14. _Melospiza lincolnii gracilis_ (Kittlitz).--Miller (1955a:177) took an unsexed representative of _M. l. gracilis_ on April 7 in Carboneras Canyon of the Sierra del Carmen at 6700 feet. This occurrence is at the extreme eastern range of this subspecies.
