P. PEARSON 1951-1952 Mothracra? Perdiz Dec 19 Shot 1 today at km 57 west of Punu, 13,300 ft. John grass hills. There were a pair of adults and 3 or [stage probably] juvenile [sure half-grown young]. These I think are the middle- sized altiplano tinamou, smaller than Tinamotis but large. The ? was sprouting new feathers over much of her body and had many even up to 4 mm. No blood feetle, but scored skin. Dec 23 Shot 2 at km 101 east of Oguipa at 13,700 ft. They were the only 2 seen. This is very close to the spot where I bought a Tinamotis from a boy a few days ago. He probably got his a little larger. Hard wet snow at time. Dec 29 [unint.] flushed one, probably this species, on the hill east of Tineofalco, 13,900 ft, mostly tola (quadriflora) with mixture of bunchgrass. Jan 6. Several were feeding in the new barley field below the Hareids [Parrimon?] Jan 7 Shot one of them, a ?, no blood/feetle but one orange pelvic 8 mm in drain, rest 4 mm., and small cL. On shoot large. Barley + some other sed/pd in stomachs. Feb 3 Saw 2 pairs and a single within 1 mile about 15 km south of Mogocing, 13,200 ft. They were on or near the bottom of river flats but near the hills. This is Tectura country, hence the species nice along John. The single was a ?, both ? I were losing. Feb 4 See specimen Feb 6 Flushed one at Ontano. It flew up rather stiffly [?] for about 40 yds then landed. Feb 10 Saw bird of ? at km 104 from Punu, 14,300 ft. 4 seemed smaller than [other]. Unto shot 2 small ones - see diminution.
