Dr. Henderson says “ The Hoopoe was seen almost daily tbe whole way from Lahore 
Yarkand city. In the barest deserts, where the Havens that travelled with the camp were 
a m °st the only living things to be seen, the Hoopoe would occasionally be met with ; and 
\ain on the highest passes it was noticed, apparently entirely at its ease. It was seen at 
t] ak Zu ng, overlooking the Lingzi Thang, and in a former journey I saw it at the very top of 
le Tugulung Pass (16,000 feet).” According to Dr. Scully the Hoopoe is a very common 
11 d in Kashgharia, where it is a permanent resident. “It was met with, ’ he says, “in all 
*° rts of places ; in the fields about Kashghar and Yarkand, near villages ; at the little oasis 
“ tlle desert between Kharghalik and Sanju, in the valley of the Karakash ; and it seemed 
1 01 fectly happy in the barren region near the Karakorum Pass, an elevation of over 18,000 
Got - The Yarkandis call it ‘ Hiipup.’ ” 
°n the 26th of May Dr. Stoliczka found young birds near Yarkand, the nest being
