Dr. Stoliczka states in his c Diary ’ that this species was very common along the road lie£ b 
Karghalik on the 29th of May, and he saw a pair carrying grass for their nest. hJoloi 1 ^ 
Biddulph says that it was seen in great numbers in September, from Leh to the Pang 011 ^ 
Lake, and on the return journey it was plentiful in June and July in the Indus ^ 81 . 
Nubra valleys. Dr. Henderson obtained it on the “ Khush Maidan or Happy Plain ( s _^ 
called on the Incus a non lucendo principle, it being one of the most miserable deserts 
creation) at an elevation of 16,000 feet ; at Shahidula at about 11,000 feet ; and at 
about 6000 feet, where, by the way, one quite young bird was obtained, proving tlmt ^ 
species breeds in Yarkand. Dr. Scully observes : — “ This species is a seasonal visita^ 
to the plains of Eastern Turkestan, arriving about the end of March, and leaving ^ 
September.” He gives an interesting note on the habits and breeding of the species 110 
Yarkand in May. TheTurki name for the Bluethroat is “ Chaghchi,” an appellation 
it because it is said to make a sound resembling the noise of the spinning-wheels used bv 
women of Yarkand.
