This Thrush was rather common at Gyantse for about 

 three weeks in April, but the birds were merely passing 

 through on migration, and they had all disappeared by the 

 end of the month. I did not see any at Khamba Jong in 

 the autumn of 1903. In January this species was well 

 represented in the wooded parts of the Chumbi Valley, up 

 to an elevation of 10,000 feet. The Tibetan name is 

 " Dre-dre."
