This species has been supposed to breed in Cashmere and 
the Western Himalayas, to cross the plains of India on mi¬ 
gration, and to winter in Central India. Scully found it 
common in August about halfway between Leh (Ladak) and 
Yarkand (Stray Feathers, 1876, p. 149). Mr. Brooks in¬ 
forms me that it is frequent in Cashmere, and that it has 
been found as far east as Darjeeling. In Lord Tweeddale^s col¬ 
lection are skins from the Garo Hills ( Godwin-Austen); and 
Hume includes it in his list of birds from the Tenasserim 
provinces (Stray Feathers, 1874, p. 479). 
The eggs and nest of this bird are unknown.
