_Dendroica auduboni memorabilis_ Oberholser.--Oberholser (1921:246)
recorded _D. a. memorabilis_ from Saltillo on April 17. This subspecies
seems to winter commonly in western Mexico and less commonly in the
Central Plateau and Sierra Madre Oriental (Miller, Friedmann, Griscom,
and Moore, 1957:249-250).
_Dendroica nigrescens_ (Townsend).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Male]
31095, from Fortin (=33 mi. N, 8 mi. W San Geronimo), 3300 ft., March
28, 1952, weight, 9.3 gms.
The Black-throated Gray Warbler is an uncommon spring and possibly fall
migrant in Coahuila. Miller (1955a:173) found _D. nigrescens_ uncommon
in the Sierra del Carmen. He saw and heard a spring migrant singing on
April 12 at 7000 feet and obtained a male on April 16.
_Dendroica townsendi_ (Townsend).--Townsend's Warbler is a spring and
fall migrant in Coahuila. Miller (1955a:173) recorded _D. townsendi_ on
September 2 at Jardin del Sur in Chuperosa Canyon in the Sierra del
Carmen. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:203) saw two individuals of
Townsend's Warbler at Diamante Pass on April 14. Amadon and Phillips
(1947:578) secured this species "in mesquite about twenty miles west of
Saltillo on August 28." Dickerman saw Townsend's Warblers in the Sierra
de la Madera on December 13, 1953; 20 mi. S Ocampo on April 4, 1954;
and 13 mi. E San Antonio de las Alazanas on April 10, 1954.
_Dendroica virens_ (Gmelin).--Dickerman saw one Black-throated Green
Warbler 13 mi. E San Antonio de las Alazanas, 9350 feet, on April 10,
1954, in a white pine-Douglas fir-aspen association. This seems to be
the first record of this species in Coahuila.
*_Dendroica chrysoparia_ Sclater and Salvin.--Miller, Friedmann,
Griscom, and Moore (1957:251) listed the Golden-cheeked Warbler from
Hipolito on July 3.
_Dendroica occidentalis_ (Townsend).--_Specimen examined:_ one, [Male]
31592, from 13 mi. E San Antonio de las Alazanas, April 10, 1954.
The Hermit Warbler seems to be an uncommon spring and probably fall
migrant in Coahuila. Miller, Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1957:252)
reported _D. occidentalis_ from the State. No. 31592, whose testes were
not enlarged, was obtained in a pine-spruce-aspen association.
_Geothlypis trichas brachidactylus_ (Swainson).--Miller, Friedmann,
Griscom, and Moore (1957:261) listed this subspecies of the
Yellowthroat as recorded from Coahuila.
_Geothlypis trichas occidentalis_ Brewster.--Burleigh and Lowery
(1942:204) found the Yellowthroat "only on the outskirts of Saltillo,
where ... [this species] was not uncommon in the thickets, especially
around a small stand of marsh grass bordering a pond." Three males that
Burleigh and Lowery (_loc. cit._) obtained were tentatively identified
as _G. t. occidentalis_. Dickerman saw one male Yellowthroat at San
Marcos (=20 mi. S Cuatro Cienegas) on May 4, 1954.
