Dr. Henderson did not distinguish between this species and C. tibetana, but his s P e ^ eC ieS 
show to which Lark the following note is to be referred : — “ Several specimens of ^ ^ 
were obtained in Kashmir and Ladak, in both of which localities it may prove t gD 
numerous nestlings were procured near Balakchi and along the Karakash betwee ^ h e 
of July and the 5th of August.” Dr. Scully obtained the species in the same dlstl ’ lC ^. ir aka sl1 
writes : — “ It was only observed at Balakchi, and for a short distance along the ^ ltl ei'° llS 
River (elevation 12,000 feet), where it had evidently been breeding. The birds were n ^ 
on the alluvial plains between Shahidula and Balakchi, and they ran about swiff b c d th eJl 
stones, flying off in flocks when alarmed. They uttered a short twittering note, 
flight was wavy, somewhat resembling that of a Wagtail.”
