1876, p. 81). Brooks found it breeding in Cashmere (Ibis, 

 1872, p. 26). Gaetke obtains it regularly in autumn in 

 Heligoland (Ibis, 1875, p. 180). Its other various occur- 

 rences in Europe are duly chronicled in Dresser^s ' Birds of 

 Europe/ Middendorff obtained it at Okhotsk (Sib. Reise, 

 vol. ii. pt. 2, p. 183). Swinhoe found it in spring at Chefoo, 

 North China (Ibis, 1874, p. 441), and in autumn near Peking 

 (Ibis, 1861, p. 330), on both occasions doubtless on migration. 

 He also found it in winter at Amoy (Ibis, 1860, p. 54) and 

 in Hainan (Ibis, 1870, p. 345). Brooks records it from Al- 

 morah on migration (Ibis, 1869, p. 354). Jerdon (Birds of 

 Ind. ii. p. 197) says that it is common in most parts of India in 

 the cold season. Blyth says that it is common in the cold 

 season near Calcutta. Hume includes it in his list of the 

 birds of Upper Pegu (Stray Feathers, 1875, p. 140) and of 

 the Tenasserim provinces (Stray Feathers, 1874, p. 478); and 

 in Lord Tweeddale^s collection are skins from the Garo Hills 

 {Godwin- Austen) , Munipur {Godwin-Austen), and Rangoon 

 {Warcllaw Ramsay). 



Mr. Brooks describes the nest of this species as being semi- 

 domed, lined with line grass and a few hairs, placed on the 

 ground on a sloping bank. The eggs are white, more or less 

 spotted with red or purple.
