Dickerman saw two Sparrow Hawks in the Sierra del Pino on May 12, 1954. Sutton and Burleigh (1939a:27) took a male at La Rosa on January 30 that was typical for _F. s. sparverius_. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:188) noted Sparrow Hawks almost daily about Saltillo and infrequently in the open valley south of Diamante Pass; they took a female at Saltillo on April 22 that was assigned to _F. s. sparverius_. *_Colinus virginianus texanus_ (Lawrence).--_Specimens examined:_ total 9: [Male] 29408 and [Female] 29409 from 1 mi.

S San Geronimo seem to extend the known range of _texanus_ nearly 100 miles west. The sizes of the testes (11, 16, 15, 15 mm.) of Nos. 29408, 32032-32034, respectively, indicates breeding by the Bobwhite in Coahuila. *_Callipepla squamata pallida_ Brewster.--_Specimens examined:_ total 16: [Male] 29414 from 1 mi.
