This species is more northerly in its range than many others 
of the genus. It breeds in the subalpine districts of Lake 
Baical (skins collected by Dr. Dybowski in this district are 
common in collections). It passes through S.E. Mongolia 
{Prjevalsky, Mong. and the Tangut Country, ii. p. 36) and 
North China on migration ( Bwinhoe , Ibis, 1861, p. 330), and 
is common during the winter months at Amoy (, Swinhoe , 
Ibis, 1860, p. 53), Formosa and Japan ( Blyth , Ibis, 1867, 
p. 25). Jerdon (Birds of I. ii. p. 191) says that it is not 
found in South India; but in Lord Tweeddale^s collection are 
skins from Assam {Godwin-Austen), Burmah, and Calcutta. 
This species is said to lay pure white eggs.
