Bastard primary very large, the exposed part measuring 65 
to '75. 
Length of wing—male 2*4 to 22, female 2 2 to 2‘0. 
Length of tail—male 2*15 to 2’0, female 1*95 to 1*8. 
Legs and claws brown. 
This species breeds on both sides of the Himalayas, having 
been found in summer in Cashmere {Brooks, Ibis, 1872, p. 31) 
and in Thibet [v. Pelzeln, Ibis, 1868, p. 308). Jerdon (Birds 
of Ind. ii. p. 194) says that it is not uncommon in winter at 
Calcutta and all over India; and in Lord Tweeddale's collec¬ 
tion are skins from Burma (Munipur, Godivin-Austen). 
The nest and eggs are unknown.

Bill very long and slender, under mandible dark. 
Upper parts greyish brown, dashed all over with olive-green.

Third, fourth, and fifth primaries longest. Sixth, seventh, 
and eighth each considerably less than the preceding. 
Second primary between the eighth and ninth. 
Bastard primary rather large, the exposed part measuring 
•55 to *68. 
No wing-bar. 
Length of wing—male 2*43 to 235, female 23 to 2*2. 
Length of tail—male U85 to 1*7, female 1*7 to U65. 
Legs and claws brown. 
This is one of the rarest and least-known species of the 
genus. It breeds in Cashmere ( Brooks, Ibis, 1872, p. 22). 
Mr. Brooks informs me that he has shot birds on migration 
in spring at Etawah and Almorah. It probably winters in 
the plains of North India. 
This species breeds in pine trees, and makes a cup-shaped 
nest, profusely lined with feathers, near the end of a branch,
