nta Teresa, 7050 ft., April 5, 1952; and [Female] 31668 from Sierra Guadalupe, Canyon d. Meco (=10 mi. S General Cepeda), 6500 ft., April 23, 1953. The Acorn Woodpecker in Coahuila is common in the oak and pine-oak belts, from 4950 to 8000 feet. Miller (1955a:166) stated that the Acorn Woodpecker in the Sierra del Carmen was an abundant and conspicuous bird throughout the oak and pine-oak belts, from 5000 to 8000 feet. Dickerman saw two Acorn Woodpeckers in the Sierra de la Madera on December 13, 1953, and four 20 mi. S Ocampo, 6000 feet, on April 4, 1954. Breeding of _M. f. formicivorus_ was reported by Miller (_loc. cit._) who took females nearly ready to begin laying; one of our specimens (No. 29423) had enlarged testes (11 mm.). _Sphyrapicus varius varius_ (Linnaeus).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Female] 31649, from the north foot of Sierra Guadalupe (=10 mi. S, 5 mi. W General Cepeda), 6400 ft., April 19, 1953. Miller (1955a:166) reported this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker as a winter visitant or migrant in the Sierra del Carmen. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:192) took a female _S. v. varius_ at the summit of Diamante Pass on April 14. Ridgway (1914:275) listed _S. v. varius_ from Sierra de Guadalupe. _Sphyrapicus varius nuchalis_ Baird.--Miller (1955a:166) reported this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker as "indeed common" in the Sierra del Carmen, and indicated that both _S. v. nuchalis_ and _S. v. varius_ were "found only at the upper levels in the pine-oak formation and usually in relatively dense clumps of trees in the canyon bottoms." Ridgway (1914:280) listed _C. v. nuchalis_ from Rio Sabinas. **_Dendrocopos villosus icastus_ (Oberholser).--Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:39) remarked that this subspecies of the Hairy Woodpecker occurs, in northwestern Mexico, from eastern Sonora, Jalisco, Chihuahua, Durango, Zacatecas to southern Coahuila. Ridgway (1914:222) stated that _D. v. icastus_ occurs in Coahuila at Carneros and Sierra de Guadalupe, the former being the easternmost known locality for the subspecies. **_Dendrocopos villosus intermedius_ (Nelson).--_Specimens examined:_ total 2: [Male] 32701 from 13 mi. E San Antonio de las Alazanas, 9950 ft., July 6, 1955; and [Female] 31604 from 2 mi. E Mesa de Tablas, 8500 ft., January 15, 1954.
