McLennie Notes 1954 Pariidge (not Rhea chaka)-W.W.D. 99 April 5 E. Side Bann Run Valley, elen. 15,000ft. Nepal. A flock of about 15 of these dark-colored partridges are seen apparently feeding on the juniper & low Rhododendron partially covered slopes in a side gully to the Bann Valley. There is some water flowing at the gully bottom. As two birds are shot off from this flock, the group flies away with heavy dust rising lenta. Unable to preserve the specimens. May 4 Bann Run Valley, elen. 16,000ft. Nepal. Sharpe Anthony says has shot an adult male partridge somewhere near Comp & a skin (W.W.D. 99.) is made of this bird.
