Dr. Scully’s note is as follows : — “ The Kentish King-Plover is a seasonal visitant to the 
Plains of Eastern Turkestan, arriving about the end of March, and disappearing entirely in 
winter. It frequents stony ground and efflorescent wastes, always in the neighbourhood of 
fallow pools of water. When disturbed it appears to take only short flights, but runs very 
Mrnbly over the ground. The Turki name given to this species is ‘ Chiillolc ; 5 it is also 
s°iuetimes called ‘ Sai Yamghurchi,' — Yamghurchi being the exact Turki equivalent of 
Pluvialis,’ and Sai meaning a stony steppe.”

No. 1709. Yarkand, May 22, 1874. 
Dr. Scully writes : — “ This species, like the last, is, I believe, only a seasonal visitant to 
10 plains ; however, I cannot quite make out how the young bird I got at Kashghar in 
■■Comber came to be there at that time. This Plover arrives towards the end of March, and 
^grates about September. It was common in the neighbourhood of Yarkand in summer, 
was found in the Karakash Valley at an elevation of about 12,000 feet towards the end 
August. It was usually seen in small flocks, feeding on insects in the vicinity of swampy 
» l0 Und. The bird breeds in May, laying, I was informed, three or four eggs on the bare 
*A°Und at some distance from water. This species is called by the Yarkandis e Shaiarak
