This species has a somewhat restricted range, probably 
breeding at a considerable elevation in the alpine districts of 
the Himalayas from Cashmere'to Darjeeling, and migrating 
to the plains of North India and Burmah during the cold 
season. Scully records it north of the Karakorum Pass 
(Stray Feathers, 1876, p. 148). Brooks (Ibis, 1872, p. 31) 
found it during the breeding-season in Cashmere; and Jerdon 
(Birds of I. ii. p. 194) records it from Darjeeling. In von 
Homeyer's collection is a skin obtained by Meves at Tjubuk, 
in the Ural, 16th Aug. 1872, which, Mr. Brooks agrees with 
me, cannot be referred to any other species but this. Blyth
