Dr. Scully writes : — " This species was very common in the plains from March to Auo'ust, 

 and was met with in the valley of the Karakash at an elevation of about 12,000 feet near the 

 end of the latter month ; it was never observed in winter. The bird was never seen near 

 houses, but always in swampy ground and about marshes. It breeds probably about the 

 month of May, as quite a young nestling was obtained on the 15th June. The Turki name 

 for this species is ' Sarik Sunduk,' i. e. the Yellow Wagtail."
