The Louisiana State University Museum of Zoölogy now has a series of 21 specimens of _Columbigallina passerina_ collected in Louisiana since the publication of Oberholser's book, in which only a few records for _C. p. passerina_ alone are cited. Examination of the new material reveals that eleven specimens are clearly referable to _pallescens_, providing, therefore, an addition to the avifauna of the state. As might be expected, _pallescens_ prevails in the western part of the state, although, at least occasionally, it migrates farther east. The specimens identifiable as _pallescens_ are as follows: 7 [Male], 1 [Female], Cameron, April 3, 1938 (Lowery); December 15, 1940 (Wallace); November 1 and 20, 1941 (Burdick and Lowery); October 31, 1942 (Burdick and Tucker). Two females were taken at White Castle on January 18, 1938 (Hewes), and another was shot at Carville on January 15, 1941 (Lowery). No Louisiana breeding record for the species is yet available, but in 1939 I saw a pair in the last week of May at Baton Rouge, another near Plaquemine on May 17, 1946, and George M. Sutton and I noted a pair almost daily at Cameron between April 22 and 30, 1942. If the bird breeds in Cameron Parish, the nesting race may prove to be _pallescens_, since a bird taken there on April 3, as listed above, belongs to that subspecies. #Chordeiles minor minor# (Forster), Eastern Nighthawk Since the one previous record (Oberholser, _op. cit._, 348) of the occurrence of this subspecies in the state now proves to be an example of _C. m. howelli_, the following specimens, all taken after the publication of Oberholser's book, constitute the only Louisiana records: 4 [Male], 1 [Female], University, October 3, 5, 12, 23, 1941 (Burdick, Howell, Ray, and Lowery); 4 [Male], 1 [Female], University, May 15, 18, 22, 30, 1942 (Burdick and Lowery); 1 [Male], Creole, September 2, 1944 (Burdick). #Chordeiles minor howelli# Oberholser, Howell Nighthawk The only state records known, all previously unpublished, are as follows: 1 [Female], Colfax, May 15, 1937 (Lowery); 2 [Male], 1 [Female], University, May 23 and 24 and October 3, 1941 (Ray and Lowery); 3 [Male], University, May 22 and 25, 1942 (Burdick); 1 [Male], Chloe, 10 miles south, April 28, 1945; 1 [Male], Creole, 2 miles west, April 30, 1945 (Tucker). #Chordeiles minor aserriensis# Cherrie, Cherrie Nighthawk Three specimens, one male and two females, taken from flocks of migrating nighthawks at University on September 29 and October 3 and 9, 1941 (Ray and Lowery), are the only records of the occurrence of this race in the state. #Chordeiles minor sennetti# Coues, Sennett Nighthawk A female taken at University on September 29, 1941 (Burdick), and a male shot at the same place on May 22, 1942 (Lowery), constitute the basis for the addition of this subspecies to the Louisiana list. #Chordeiles acutipennis texensis# Lawrence, Texas Nighthawk
