T ub following note by Air. Blanford on th e occurrence ot this species in Sikhim was
accidently omitted in th e article on th is species :—“ Common on th e Chola range about
th e upper lim it of forest, 12,000 to 13,000 feet. I t w a s chiefly seen h u n tin g over streams
aud lakes.”
Air. Oates w rite s:—“ This species ascends th e Himalayas u p to 12,000 or 13,000
feet, and it appears to breed along th e whole range, from Ka shm ir to Sikhim. I ts range
in th e plains is quite unknown.”
The plate given by B r. Giglioli aud Signor Alanzclla in the ‘ Iconographia ’ o f th(>
bird idcntilied by th e former n a tu ra lis t as C. c a shm ir ie n s is shows th a t it was, as
suspected by Count Salvadori, only a small individual of C. urhica.

Ix our account of th is species wc gave th e h ab ita t as Borneo and Ja p an , “ doubtless
occurring in intervening localities d u rin g migration.” AVo have since seen a siiccimeii
in Air. Styan’s collection from Formosa, which appears to indicate th e ro u te by wliicli
th e speeies reaches its winter home. Up to th e present time its occurrence in the
Philippines has n o t been notified, b u t i t can scarcely be doubted th a t i t passes through
th e Archipelago on its winter migration.
Air. Seebohm says th a t it is a very common summer visitor to a ll the Japanese
Islands, breeding on th e cliffs and in th e caves ; ho states th a t th e eggs in the Pry er
collection do n o t differ from those of the European House-AIartin.
