SUMMARY:
The writer disputes identifying Primula specimen no. 3310 as P. macrophylla, noting consistent differences in size, color, eye, and corolla tube, and its habitat on wetter, near-bare cliff faces. They also describe observing a Grandala nest at about 15,000 ft with three chicks, built under an overhanging cliff, and document frequent parental feeding visits.

Note on 3310. I believe W. Smith put a similar primula which we got last year on the Bimbi La, as P. macrophylla forma. I cannot agree that this one is the same as P. macrophylla. The latter grows flowers in profusion all around. No 3310 is recognisable at once. It is always much bigger & always the same colour, & always has the deeper blue violet eye. The tube also is dark coloured, not nearly white as this is. The habitat is much the same, but 3310 grows on almost bare cliff faces in wetter places.

Note on nest of Grandala c.c. I have seen several Grandala carrying food for their young up here, or at about 15000 ft. Today we saw one nest. It was built under an overhanging cliff, or a rock ledge covered with grass & moss, & was quite unapproachable. But I watched both male & female come with food several times, & saw the chicks through binoculars take the food. There were three chicks. The nest appeared (15x) to be made of dry grass, a perfect round, well made, perched on a ledge, & lined with something soft looking. The nest was about 5"-6" diam outside, & about 3 1/2 or 3 inside. Parents came every 5-10 minutes.

SUMMARY:
Observations suggest Blood pheasants may practice both polyandry and polygyny, including instances of two males with one female staying near a site with chicks despite disturbance. Three locals report taking eggs and say they have often seen two females with one male, claiming either arrangement occurs.

Note on Blood pheasants. 23/6. I believe that blood pheasants practice both polyandry and polygyny. Certainly on two occasions I have seen two males to one female. In the first case (Lao La Camp) we stopped an hour beside them, when chicks were out running about. Both males kept near the place the whole time. Again today, although we never saw eggs or nest, there were two males to the one female and all kept close to their original spot, though six of us were searching the forest. Three locals have taken the eggs of Blood pheasant and eaten them. One says he took six from one nest last year. These three also say they have often seen two females to one male, and maintain that it may be either way about.
