This species is quite eastern in its range, wintering on both 
coasts of the Bay of Bengal. It probably breeds in the East¬ 
ern Himalayas. Mr. Brooks informs me that it is common 
at Sikkim, but is not found in the north-west provinces. 
Blyth (J. A. S. Beng. xii. p. 968) says that it is common in 
Lower Bengal during the cold season, and more or less so 
over the country generally. In Lord Tweeddale^s collection 
are skins from Assam and Pegu ( Wardlaw Ramsay) . Hume 
records it from the Tenasserim Provinces (Stray Feathers, ii. 
p. 478), and Dr. Steere has recently obtained a skin in the 
Philippines. 
The nest and eggs of this bird are unknown. 
This bird and the preceding are much darker than the 
nearly allied species, and are distinguishable from each other 
by their different wing-formulae; their notes are said to be 
unlike; and they vary somewhat in their geographical range ; 
otherwise they seem to be very closely allied.
