104 Mr. H. Seebohm on the Pliylloscopi 
1876, p. 81). Brooks found it breeding in Casbmere (Ibis, 
1872, p. 26). Gaetke obtains it regularly in autumn in 
Heligoland (Ibis, 1875, p. 180). Its other various occur¬ 
rences in Europe are duly chronicled in Dresser’s f Birds of 
Europe/ Middendorff obtained it at Okhotsk (Sib. Reise, 
vol. ii. pt. 2, p. 183). Swinhoe found it in spring at Chefoo, 
North China (Ibis, 1874, p. 441), and in autumn near Peking 
(Ibis, 1861, p. 330), on both occasions doubtless on migration. 
He also found it in winter at Amoy (Ibis, 1860, p. 54) and 
in Hainan (Ibis, 1870, p. 345). Brooks records it from Al- 
morah on migration (Ibis, 1869, p. 354). Jerdon (Birds of 
Ind. ii. p. 197) says that it is common in most parts of India in 
the cold season. Blyth says that it is common in the cold 
season near Calcutta. Hume includes it in his list of the 
birds of Upper Pegu (Stray Feathers, 1875, p. 140) and of 
the Tenasserim provinces (Stray Feathers, 1874, p. 478); and 
in Lord Tweeddale^s collection are skins from the Garo Hills 
{Godwin-Austen ), Munipur [Godwin-Austen ), and Rangoon 
(Wardlaw Ramsay). 
Mr. Brooks describes the nest of this species as being semi-, 
domed, lined with fine grass and a few hairs, placed on the 
ground on a sloping bank. The eggs are white, more or less 
spotted with red or purple.
