P. PEARSON 1951-1952 3 Mother (cont.) places where they disappeared, but no trace. Perhaps signifcant that each of them was moving uphill at random. some "wen-tit" calling in morning, very little in evening. P.S. Those feeding near the corral, and which moved uphill at dusk [illegible] were almost certainly Notthroctes. Feb 21 In summary of our stay 3 km. W. Villars. Mother prefers the valley bottoms, is frequently found in wetter parts with a short funch grass (sus specimens). They are seldom seen on the ground, sometimes run as approached. Many more are flushed by walking around before 8 a.m. than after 10 a.m. In fact no flushed practically none after 10 a.m. By repeated triangulation, no individual case entirely satisfactory but many fairly convincing, I am convinced that the "wen-tit" piping at 6 a.m. and p.m. is made by Mother. Anita claims she saw one making the sound. When flushed they do not give the long series of pheasant-like squeaks of Notthroctes. April 10 Pichupichani, 12,600ft. While leaving our twee area this morn, Pamper Carol said she saw 2 baby tenrecs out running inns. We stopped, stomped around, flushed 2 adults about 20 yards apart, but couldn't find young.
