Clutch of seven eggs, Crossoptilon harmani. Nest not seen by me, but said to be at the foot of an abies tree, 1/2 m below Langong. Nest in a kind of hole, eggs laid in a little moss & fir leaves. Eggs almost fresh, 9.6.38. 12000'.

Both the blackbird & T. albocinctus are here in numbers. I have not found any nest yet though.

T. m. merula does not come down the valley beyond the open meadow part. Extremely common near Langong.

On the Chubumbu La S side, about 13000', Bill put up a Monal (Sclateri).
