Dr. Stoliczka says that he noticed this species at Zingral, about 15,500 feet, on 1 ^ oD 
to the Chang-la. Colonel Biddulph also obtained specimens in streams under 
both sides of the same pass. Dr. Henderson writes : — “ Several specimens of this 
breasted Dipper were procured and numbers seen, not in Kashmir, but in Eastern Laddk, 111 ^ 
stream which runs from Chagra into the Pangong Lake. It appears to be a pernn 111 .^ 
resident here, as it was noticed and shot in this locality both on going and coming. ^ ne Qll 
obtained on the 14th of July could not long have left the nest, and old birds were 
this stream on the 8th of October, at an elevation of 15,000 feet, when, except quite 
centre, it was a mass of solid ice.” 
Dr. Lansdell met with this species at Tischkun on the 1st of November, 1888.
