Except that Mr. Whitehead - 
— to whom ornithologists are indebted for 
many useful observations on 
migration in Borneo 
— marks N. scutulata as a 
migratory visitor to Palawan 
(hi), 
in addition to 
supplying dates pointing to 
the same condition in Borneo, where Dr. Sharpe 
had already expressed the 
opinion that it was a migratory bird (P. Z. S. 1879, 325), there appears to exist 
no statement based on direct observations of the migration of this species in the 
East Indian Archipelago , where observations on migration have been as yet 
generally neglected by all travelling naturalists. In China and Japan this is 
happily not so much the case; Mr. Campbell speaks of it as a summer visitor 
to Corea (c 5)\ Mr. Sty an as a breeding summer visitant to the Lower Yangtse 
Basin (h 9)\ Mr. De La Touche as a species “not uncommon in May” at Foochow,
