This species has been supposed to breed in Cashmere and 

 the Western Himalayas, to cross the plains of India on mi- 

 gration, and to winter in Central India. Scully found it 

 common in August about halfway between Leh (Ladak) and 

 Yarkand (Stray Feathers, 1876, p. 149) . Mr. Brooks in- 

 forms me that it is frequent in Cashmere, and that it has 

 been found as far east as Darjeeling. In Lord Tweeddale's col- 

 lection are skins from the Garo Hills [Godwin- Austen) ; and 

 Hume includes it in his list of birds from the Tenasserim 

 provinces (Stray Feathers, 1874, p. 479). 



The eggs and nest of this bird are unknown.
