Redshanks were seen in considerable numbers at Khamba 

 Jong up to the end of October ; they were especially 

 numerous at some hot springs a few miles from our camp. 

 After the autumn, none were observed until we reached the 

 Yam Dok Cho Lake, towards the end of July. Here they 

 were fairly numerous, and they occurred in very large numbers 

 on the Lhasa plain in August and September, many fre- 

 quenting marshy meadows in the town itself. The Tibetan 

 name of the bird is " Chhu-ring," i. e. Long-bill.
