Scope and content

SUMMARY:
Notes on fleas and lice among the party, with Ludlow inspected daily and Ramzana attributing lice to sweat; temporary huts built and a comfortable halt at Donga Pini with fine weather, bird shooting, and photo developing. On 27th July the party proceeds to SANA, climbing from about 8000' to 9600' along the ridge via the DONGA LA, with plants such as Primula xanthopa, P. sikkimensis, and Oxalis acetosella recorded.

CONTENT:
a good many fleas & lice about. Ludlow has his clothes searched every morning for lice. Ramzana, when asked where they came from, could only offer the explanation that they came from sweat. Three temporary huts have been built for the coolies & our Cookhouse, so we are all quite comfortable here, & will stay tomorrow. A very good day for birds, but no flowers.

Clouds in here all day, ready for tomorrow. There are no houses or
