As a rule Dippers are northern birds, and are largely- spread over the Palsearctic Region wherever there are mountains with swiftly flowing streams to afford a suitable habitat. They are found over the greater part of Europe and Northern Asia, and occur on the Atlas Mountains in Algeria, and again in Asia Minor and the mountains of the Lebanon. Though met with in Scandinavia and Northern Eussia, they appear to be only scantily represented in the greater part of the latter country; but they reappear in the Ural Mountains and Caucasus, whence they extend through Persia into Central Asia and to Cashmere ; thence they range throughout the Himalayas, and the greater part of China and Western Siberia, inhabiting Kamtschatka and the Aleutian Isles.
