This species is more northerly in its range than many others 

 of the genus. It breeds in the subalpine districts of Lake 

 Baical (skins collected by Dr. Dybowski in this district are 

 common in collections). It passes through S.E. Mongolia 

 {Prjevahhj, Mong. and the Tangut Country, ii. p. 36) and 

 North China on migration {Swinhoe, Ibis, 1861, p. 330), and 

 is common during the winter months at Amoy [Swinhoe, 

 Ibis, 1860, p. 53), Formosa and Japan {Blijth, Ibis, 1867, 

 p. 25). Jerdon (Birds of I. ii. p. 191) says that it is not 

 found in South India; but in Lord Tweeddale^s collection are 

 skins from Assam {Goclivin- Austen) , Burmah, and Calcutta. 



This species is said to lay pure white eggs.
