Teniminck's Stint is a common winter visitor to tlie plains 

 ofc" India, arriving in October or earlier. At Leh, Biddulpli 

 met with it in the first week of September, and Scully says 

 it arrives in the Katmandu Valley, Nepal, about the middle 

 of the same month, wliile in the North- West Frontier 

 Whitehead did not see it till the end of October. 



Both Henderson and Stoliczka considered that this Stint 

 bred in Yarkand, where Biddulpli shot birds as late as 22 May, 

 but it is sometimes found farther south at even a later date, 

 and M. Babault obtained one on the borders of the Tso

 of Europe,' says " Temminck's Stint does not breed farther 

 south than the south-west part of the Tomsk Government 

 in 51° lat."
