No. 31633 shows no sign of intergrading with _J. p. phaeonotus_ to the south. The outermost rectrix of No. 31633 is wholly white; the second rectrix is nearly as white. No. 31633 is paler than representatives of _J. p. phaeonotus_ from the southern part of the Central Plateau of México.

The Chipping Sparrow is a common spring and possibly fall migrant in Coahuila. Miller (1955a:177) noted small flocks from April 21 to 27 in the Sierra del Carmen where specimens were taken. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:209) indicated that _S. p. arizonae_ was "quite common and of general distribution" at Saltillo and Diamante Pass and remarked that specimens were taken at these localities in April. Amadon and Phillips (1947:581) took two Chipping Sparrows "near Las Delicias on August 17." Dickerman saw individuals in the Sierra del Pino on May 12, 1954, and at San Marcos on May 4, 1954. Our specimens, which are typical representatives of _S. p. arizonae_, are pale; the ground color of their backs is grayish buff.
_Spizella pallida_ (Swainson).--The Clay-colored Sparrow is a migrant or winter visitant in Coahuila. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:209) saw "large flocks of sparrows, mostly of this species, ... on frequent occasions in the cultivated fields and orchards on the outskirts of Saltillo." Four specimens were taken by Burleigh and Lowery (_loc. cit._) on April 19 and 20 at Saltillo.
_Spizella breweri breweri_ Cassin.--_Specimens examined:_ total 2: [Female] 31115 from the Río Grande (=17 mi. S Dryden, Terrell Co., Texas, in Coahuila), 600 ft., March 18, 1952, weight, 8.2 gms.; and [Male] 31114 from 28 mi. S, 11 mi. E Boquillas, 2000 ft., March 12, 1952, weight, 9.7 gms.
Brewer's Sparrow is probably a winter resident in much of Coahuila. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:389) recorded _S. b. breweri_ from 25 mi. NW Monclova on November 20 and from 8 mi. S Cuatro Ciénegas on November 15. The only definite records obtained by Burleigh and Lowery (1942:209) of _S. b. breweri_ are those of a female and a male taken "near Saltillo" on April 16 and 18. The size of the dorsal area of sandy buff with narrow streakings of Nos. 31114-31115 suggests _S. b. breweri_.
