Dr. Stoliczka says that he noticed this species at Zingral, about 15,500 feet, on the road 

 to the Chang-la. Colonel Biddulph also obtained specimens in streams under and on 

 both sides of the same pass. Dr. Henderson writes : — " Several specimens of this White- 

 breasted Dipper were procured and numbers seen, not in Kashmir, but in Eastern Ladak, in the 

 stream which runs from Chagra into the Pangong Lake. It appears to be a permanent 

 resident here, as it was noticed and shot in this locality both on going and coming. A nestling 

 obtained on the 14th of July could not long have left the nest, and old birds were seen on 

 this stream on the 8th of October, at an elevation of 15,000 feet, when, except quite at its 

 centre, it was a mass of solid ice." 



Dr. Lansdell met with this species at Tischkun on the 1st of November, 1888.

No. 1653. Tarbashi, May 12, 1874. 



Dr. Henderson says :— " The Indian Dipper was noticed to be very common on the return 

 journey all the way from Kargil in Ladak to Punch at the foot of the hills, leading from the 

 plains of the Panjab into Kashmir by the Haji Pir Pass. Curiously enough, none were 

 noticed on the upward route ; but the bird in May and June is usually much higher up than 

 in the autumn and winter."
