or Willow-Wurblers. 77 



arctic Region from the Ural to the Pacific. Prjevalsky (Mong. 

 and the Tang. Country, vol. ii. p. 35) found it in the breeding- 

 season in the pine-districts of Camsu. It passes through 

 China on migration, and probably winters in Burma and the 

 East-India Islands. Meves (Jour, fiir Ornith. 1875, p. 429) 

 heard its note near Perm, and shot specimens on the eastern 

 slope of the Ural. Skins obtained by Dr. Dybowski in the 

 subalpine region near Lake Baical are not uncommon in col- 

 lections ; and Middendorff (fide Meves) obtained it as far east 

 as Okotsk. Swinhoe found it on the west coast of Hainan in 

 March (Ibis, 1870, p. 345); and in Lord Tweeddale's collection 

 are skins from Kyouk-kyre in British Burmah {Wardlaiv 

 Ramsay, Jan. 1874), and Moulmein, Burmah [Cajit. Beavan, 

 Sept. 1865). 



The nest and eggs of this bird are unknown.
