This bird appears to be strictly an Indian species, breeding 

 in Cashmere {Brooks, Ibis, 1872, p. 26). Mr. Brooks informs 

 me that it is found in the north-west provinces of India only on 

 migration. In winter it is found sparingly near Calcutta and 

 Lower Bengal, and is generally distributed over Western, 

 Central, and Southern India as far south as Ceylon [Legge, 

 Ibis, 1874, p. 73). Blyth says (J. A. S. Beng. 1854, p. 483), 

 that it has been seen on the eastern coast of the Bay of 

 Bengal as far as Clmsan ; and in Lord Tweed dale^s collection 

 is a skin from the S. Andaman Islands {Wardlaw Ramsay). 



The nest and eggs of this bird are unknown.
