The occurrence of this Snipe in the Khingans on May 23 
is interesting, as it points to its nesting in Manchuria. 
Seebohm (Geogr. Distr. of Charadr. p. 478) says, “It is 
doubtful if it breeds as far south as the valley of the 
Amur”; but since then Prjzevalski found it nesting in large 
numbers on the Hoang Ho (Yellow River), in S. Mongolia.
