Marshal], J. B. N. H. S. xv. p. 353 (Quetta: common in 
winter) ; Fulton, op. cit. xvi. p. 63 (Chitral: common in 
spring; believed to breed in Chitral; many found between

Abundant on migration in April and May, and from the 
end of August till November; the majority leave about that 
time, but many stay for the winter in the plains, and a few 
non-breeding birds through the summer. It passes up the 
Kurram Valley in spring in great force, but does not stay to 
breed. 
[1463.] Totanus stagnatilis. The Marsh-Sandpiper. 
Not at all common, but a few individuals pass through 
every year between February and the middle of May, being 
generally found about the irrigated parts of the grass-farm.

op. cit. xvii. p. 946, & xviii, p. 464 (fairly common in Kashmir 
in winter ; breeds in Ladak). 
I have only met with one solitary example, and that was 
on the 17th of March near Lachi. Major Magrath, however, 
has found the bird very common in Bannu in winter.
