P. PEARSON 1952 30 Malkapraetus (cont) were 15, 14 1/2, 14, 14 1/2, 12, 15, 13, 15 grms. Nest at 7 oar in the center of a rather sprawling tola quadrangular but alongside a tuft of golden ichne that grew up through the tola. Surrounding vegetation mostly quadrangular + scattered bunch grass. April 9 Pichu-pichuni, 12,600 ft. Taken brought in a 3/4 pibed clan, bought for 1 sole. It was killed on the hill east of camp, probably about 12,700 to 12,800 ft. April 10 10 am. SW Pizcorona, 14,100 ft. at sunset saw parent and 4 or more 1/2 grown young running on rock. Parent reluctant to fley, and even when I shot + missed from only 15 or 20 yards. Then shot it: a 3/4 size small bird patch refaathering. Flushed 2 young, then heard 2 calling nearby: chuk-chuk, chuck-chuck, somewhat musical quality. Worked in and flushed 3 close together. One shot was a 3/4, 177 grms. Squealed like adult when flushed.
