As a passage-migrant Buturlin states that it occurs 

 in the Governments of Petersburg, Pskoff, Kieff and 

 Kharkov, and as a straggler even in the Baltic Provinces, 

 while of late years it has become not rare on passage on 

 the eastern shores of the Black Sea. Radde and Henke 

 record it as a passage-migrant in the Caucasus and the 

 Astrakhan district, while it also occurs on passage near 

 Constantinople [Ibis, 1876, p. 64). In middle and south- 

 western Europe it is a rare straggler, but has been recorded 

 from Germany, from Brunswick in autumn, 1843, by 

 Blasius, who himself shot one specimen and heard of 

 another ; one from the Oberrhein (in the Museum of 

 Karlsruhe) ; and one from Pomerania in April, 1910, by 

 Reichenow {Orn. Monatsher., 1910, p. 179) ; several times 

 from France (Normandy and near Paris by Temminck, 

 and south France by Jaubert and Barthelemy-Lapom- 

 meraye) ; from Italy about eleven times, both in spring 

 and autumn, and from Switzerland several times, on two 

 occasions in spring. In Africa it occurs on the Red 

 Sea littoral and Abyssinia, as well as in Madagascar, 

 Loango, British Central Africa, and south to Damaraland 

 and Natal, while Sir E. Newton recorded it from 

 Mauritius. In Asia it ranges south to Aden, the Persian 

 Gulf, India, Ceylon, the Andaman Isles, the Malay 

 States, Burmah, Cochin China and China, as well as 

 east to the Japanese Isles, and has occurred as a 

 casual even on Bering Island in the Commander Group. 

 In the ^lalay Archipelago it has been recorded from 

 Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Celebes, Ceram, Palawan and 

 the Phihppine Isles, and ranges even to New Guinea, 

 Australia (North Austraha and New South Wales) and 

 Tasmania. F. C. R. Jourdain.
