rch 16, 1952; [Male] 32070 from 12 mi. N, 12 mi. W Jimenez, 850 ft., June 19, 1952; [Female] 32071 from 2 mi. W Jimenez, 850 ft., June 20, 1952; [Male] 35413 from 6 mi. N, 2 mi. W Castillon, 3750 ft., June 30, 1953; [Male] 32072 from 9 mi. S, 11 mi. E Sabinas, June 14, 1952; [Female] 31584 from 17 mi. S Ocampo, 5300 ft., April 7, 1954; and [Male] 31673 from the west foot of Pico de Jimulco, 5000 ft., April 4, 1953. The Ash-throated Flycatcher is common in Coahuila. All specimens examined by me from there are typical of _M. c. cinerascens_. Ridgway (1907:626) listed _M. c. cinerascens_ from Monclovia (=Monclova?) and Sabinas. Miller (1955a:166) found the species "only in the oak belt at 5000 feet, where it was common." Burleigh and Lowery (1942:193) recorded _M. c. cinerascens_ from "near Saltillo." Dickerman obtained No. 31584 in a mesquite-grassland-shrubby area. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:78) stated that _M. c. cinerascens_ breeds in Coahuila. _Sayornis phoebe_ (Latham).--Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:66) recorded the Eastern Phoebe from Coahuila on November 4-14. *_Sayornis nigricans semiatra_ (Vigors).--_Specimens examined:_ total 2: [Female] 31046 from 1 mi. N Boquillas, 700 ft., March 7, 1952; and [Female] 31047 from Fortin (=33 mi. N, 8 mi. W San Geronimo), 3300 ft., March 27, 1952. Of the Black Phoebe, the two subspecies _semiatra_ and _nigricans_ intergrade in Coahuila. Typical representatives of _S. n. semiatra_ are present in northern Coahuila. The under tail coverts of Nos. 31046-31047 are immaculate and white. Miller (1955:167) noted the two specimens collected from the Sierra del Carmen to have narrow dark shaft streaks on the under tail coverts. He (_loc. cit._) remarked also that "the marking of the under tail coverts may indicate a beginning of a gradient in increased darkening of these feathers toward _S. n. nigricans_ in southern Coahuila." *_Sayornis nigricans nigricans_ (Swainson).--Burleigh and Lowery (1942:193) collected several specimens of _S. n. nigricans_ "on the outskirts of Saltillo" and saw a pair at the Chorro del Agua on April 19. *_Sayornis saya saya_ (Bonaparte).--_Specimens examined:_ total 4: [Female] 31049 from the Rio Grande (=17 mi. S Dryden, Terrell Co., Texas, in Coahuila), 600 ft., March 18, 1952; sex ? 31048 from 10 mi. S, 5 mi. E Boquillas, 1500 ft., March 4, 1952; [Male] 31050 from Fortin (=33 mi. N, 8 mi. W San Geronimo), 3300 ft.
