S. deserti was common to a degree throughtout Sindh, as it is everywhere
in the cold season throughout the North-Western Provinces, the Punjab,
and Rajpootana. The bleaker and more inhospitable the barren wastes
stretched away, the more at home, true to its name, seemed the desert
wheatear. It was not however only in Sindh that this bird occurred,
we equally met with it at Pusnee and other places along the Mekran
Coast, and I have no doubt that, in suitable localities, its range
extends unbroken from Cawnpore to Cairo.
