Abstract
In March' and April 1960, and during biogeographical studies from February to December 1962 involving the resident avifauna, I recorded many North American migrants in the Sierra de Tuxtla, an isolated mountain range bordering the Gulf of Mexico about 90 kilometers southeast of Veracruz city. Loetscher (1955) summarized the known status of North American transients in Veracruz, and his data as well as those in the Mexican Check-List (Friedmann et al., 1950; Miller et al., 1957) are used as a basis for this paper. Also included in the present report are observations by A. R. Phillips (1947). Additional records of bird migrants for the Sierra are contained in Sclater (1857a, b), Wetmore (1943), Lowery and Dalquest (1951), Davis (1952), Amadon and Eckelberry (1955), and Coffey (1960). Data in this paper are confined to species in the American Ornithologists' Union Check-list (1957). I know of 131 migrant bird species that have been reported from the Sierra de Tuxtla and the Gulf coastal sections at its base. The annotated list contains 67
