Elwes's Shore-Lark is a common bird of the higher and 

 bleaker parts of Tibet, where it was found breeding by Colonel 

 Bailey near Tangla at 15,200 ft. Mr. Wolhiston obtained 

 eggs at Tingri, 14,000 ft., but probably it nests up to at least 

 17,000 ft., since skin no. 342, which was procured in the 

 Upper Kharta Valley at that elevation, is in nestling-plumage. 

 The type of this Shore-Lark was obtained by Messrs. Elwes 

 and Blanford near the Kangra Lama Pass on the borders of 

 Sikkim and Tibet at between 15,000-16,000 ft., and they 

 also met with it up to 18,000 ft. on the Donkia Pass. 



[Common on the plains and seen as high as 17,000 ft., East 

 Mt. Everest. Nests with young were found on 3 June, 

 when snow was still on the ground. — A. F.li.W.]
