Dr. Scully writes : — •“ This species was very common in the plains from March to -A-Ug 1 ^ 
and was met with in the valley of the Karakash at an elevation of about 12,000 feet neal r 
end of the latter month ; it was never observed in winter. The bird was never seen 
houses, but always in swampy ground and about marshes. It breeds probably a 
month of May, as quite a young nestling was obtained on the 15th June. The Turki 
for this species is ‘ Sarik Sunduk,’ i. e. the Yellow Wagtail.”
