The breeding-grounds of the Japanese Knot are unknown, but Middendorff observedit during the whole summer on the southern shores of the Sea of Okhotsk, though heobtained no evidence of its nesting there. It has occurred on migration in the valley ofthe Ussuri, on the coasts of Japan and China, and on most of the islands of the MalayArchipelago. It winters on the coasts of Australia, has occurred on the Andaman Islands,and in considerable numbers on the coast of Scinde. It is very closely allied to the Common Diagnosis. Synonymy.
