AVES. 63 



Colonel Biddulph says that this Pipit was very common about water all through the 

 winter in the plains of Turkestan. 



" This species/' Dr. Scully says, " was common in Kashgharia in winter. I shot several 

 of these birds near Beshkant, in the beginning of February, where they were running among 

 the rushes in frozen marshy ground. In the spring the birds frequented moist meadow-ground 

 and the vicinity of running water, feeding on insects and small worms. I procured one 

 specimen at Yarkand on the 7th April in full summer plumage. The Turki name for the 

 bird is ' Boz sunduk/ ' the Ashy Wagtail.' "
