ttata_ in the Sierra del Carmen. Hellmayr (1934:456) listed _H. g. auduboni_ from Sabinas. **_Sialia sialis fulva_ Brewster.--Hellmayr (1934:479) listed this subspecies of the Eastern Bluebird from Sabinas. *_Sialia mexicana mexicana_ Swainson.--Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:199) remarked that the subspecies _mexicana_ of the Western Bluebird breeds in the southern mountains of Coahuila where, at El Diamante, on July 7, a specimen (or specimens ?) in breeding condition was obtained. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:200) found _S. m. mexicana_ "well distributed in the open woods about" Diamante Pass, but at no time below an elevation of approximately 6500 feet. Sutton and Burleigh (1939a:38) also saw "several brown-backed" Western Bluebirds at Diamante Pass on March 6. Ridgway (1907:150) recorded _S. m. mexicana_ from Saltillo, Carneros, and Sierra Guadalupe. _Sialia currucoides_ (Bechstein).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Female] 31078, from Sierra de la Encantada (=38 mi. S, 23 mi. E Boquillas), 4400 ft., March 14, 1952, weight, 23.7 gms. The Mountain Bluebird is a winter visitant to Coahuila. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:200) recorded _Sialia currucoides_ from Hipolito on February 24. **_Myadestes townsendi townsendi_ (Audubon).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Female] 31079, from 26 mi. W Santa Teresa, 7050 ft., April 4, 1952. Miller (1955a:171) detected Townsend's Solitaire in clumps of large pines in two different locations at 7000 and 7500 feet on April 4, 6, and 8 in the Sierra del Carmen. He did not find a breeding population of _M. t. townsendi_, but did note favorable habitat for breeding. Ridgway (1907:164) recorded _M. townsendi_ from the Sierra Guadalupe on April 21. Dickerman saw a Townsend's Solitaire in the Sierra de la Madera on December 13, 1953. The underparts of No. 31079 are not uniformly dark, being paler on the chin, throat, and abdomen than elsewhere as is true of typical representatives of _M. t. townsendi_. **_Polioptila caerulea caerulea_ (Linnaeus).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Male] 32097, from 2 mi. S, 11 mi. E Nava, June 15, 1952. No. 32097 is the first record of occurrence of this subspecies of Blue-gray Gnatcatcher in the State. The white of the underparts of No. 32097 is less grayish than the underparts of typical representatives of _P. c. amoenissima_, and the black at the base of the inner webs of the outermost rectrix does not extend beyond the tip of
