specimens during September and October at Khamba Dzong, 

 15,200 ft., and at Tnna, 15,000 ft., he got one in Febrnar}-, 

 while Blanford says that he never met with it in north- 

 eastern Sikkini in the autumn below 14,000 ft. Henderson 

 saw this Redstart as high as 17,800 ft. in the snow in the 

 Changla Pass, Baltistan, and Scully mentions it as common 

 in August and September on the mountains of Chinese 

 Turkestan at from 10,000 to 18,000 ft.

Numbers of this C'hat were met with by Colonel Walton 

 between Gyantse and Lhasa during the summer, and up to 

 the middle of October it was still to be seen at Khamba 

 Dzong, 15,200 ft. In September and October Blanfor:! saw 

 it, apparently on migration, in the higher p;irts of Sikkim. 



Skin no. 270 is in nesting-plumage, so probably this Chat 

 breeds at Kharta.
