mi. N, 12 mi. W Jimenez, June 19, 1952; and [Female] 31038 from 8 mi. N, 4 mi. W Muzquiz, 1800 ft., March 31, 1952. The Green Kingfisher has been recorded in Coahuila as far south as 8 mi. N and 4 mi. W Muzquiz. The forehead of No. 31038, when compared with typical representatives of _C. a. hachisukai_, is not extensively streaked with white, nor are all the coverts conspicuously spotted with white, yet it clearly has more extensive white markings than typical representatives of _C. a. septentrionalis_. This specimen from 8 mi. N and 4 mi. W Muzquiz probably is intermediate between _hachisukai_ and _septentrionalis_. Miller (1955a:165) stated that Marsh took a specimen at Tanque de los Melones on La Bavia Ranch east of Fresno Mesa in the Sierra del Carmen that is a typical _C. a. hachisukai_. _Colaptes cafer collaris_ Vigors.--Ridgway (1914:34) listed this subspecies of the Red-shafted Flicker from Saltillo and Agua Nueva. *_Colaptes cafer nanus_ Griscom.--_Specimens examined:_ total 3: [Female] 31463 from Sierra del Pino (=5 mi. W, 3 mi. S Acebuches), May 13, 1954, weight, 108 gms.; and [Male] 31651 and [Female] 31652 from the north foot of Sierra Guadalupe (=10 mi. S, 5 mi. W General Cepeda), 6500 ft., April 21, 1953. In suitable habitats in Coahuila the Red-shafted Flicker is common. Miller (1955a:165-166) stated that _C. c. nanus_ was common at Corte Madera Canyon, Boquillas Canyon, and Carboneras Canyon in the Sierra del Carmen and recorded a specimen also from Sierra de Jardin on August 7. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:192) recorded _C. c. nanus_ from Diamante Pass and Saltillo. Sutton and Burleigh (1939a:31) stated that the Red-shafted Flickers, obtained 5 mi. E La Rosa and at Diamante Pass, may be intermediate between _C. c. collaris_ (then called _C. c. chihuahuae_) and _C. c. nanus_. Nesting of the Red-shafted Flicker in Coahuila was reported by Miller (1955a:165) and Burleigh and Lowery (1942:192). Hardy saw Red-shafted Flickers 13 mi. E San Antonio de las Alazanas on July 6, 1955. *_Centurus aurifrons aurifrons_ (Wagler).--_Specimens examined:_ total 6: [Male] 32054 from 12 mi. N, 12 mi. W Jimenez, 850 ft., June 19, 1952; [Female] [Female] 32055-32057 from 2 mi. W Jimenez, 850 ft., June 20, 1952; [Female] 31039 from 8 mi. N, 4 mi. W Muzquiz, 1800 ft., April 1, 1952; and [Male] 33150 (skeleton only) from Parras, July 4, 1955. The Golden-fronted Woodpecker occurs throughout Coahuila, but uncommonly in
