This bird appears to be strictly an Indian species, breeding 
in Cashmere ( Brooks, Ibis, 1872, p. 26). Mr. Brooks informs 
me that it is found in the north-west provinces of India only on 
migration. In winter it is found sparingly near Calcutta and 
Lower Bengal, and is generally distributed over Western, 
Central, and Southern India as far south as Ceylon ( Legge, 
Ibis, 1874, p. 73). Blyth says (J. A. S. Beng. 1854, p.483), 
that it has been seen on the eastern coast of the Bay of 
Bengal as far as Chusan; and in Lord Tweeddale's collection 
is a skin from the S. Andaman Islands ( Wardlaw Ramsay ). 
The nest and eggs of this bird are unknown.
