SUMMARY:

with small rhododendrons, some of which were in flower.
We saw no butterflies & few birds owing to the rain. There are
new kinds of birds here though & a good number of flowers.
Fritillaria (42)
Lloydia tibetica (43)
Collected a Fritillaria 3/4 m below the Kyu La, near the big
Meconopsis, which should be out in two weeks. It is white, &
probably imperialis: also found an Asphodel. Descent from
Meconopsis bhutanica sp. nov. (44)
the Ha La is very steep for a good two miles & then an
Pieris villosa 46
Euphorbia sikkimensis 47
easy descent into this valley which looks very fine -
Berberis virescens 48
Rh. wightii 49. rather more open than the Charithang valley. It should be a
good place to collect in. Rest House much the same as at
Charithang.
3rd June. Damthang Yesterday was fine most of the day, today only for a
short time in the morning & again in the evening. The jungle is
everywhere very thick & almost impossible to see birds in. Although
there must be new kinds here, we have hardly seen any. Today
we went 3 m up the Ha valley - which is wrongly marked on the
map - that to the North being the real Ha river.
4th June. Mostly fine till midday, then rain. Went up towards the
Kyu La got two new species & a butterfly or two. Saw a Serow (Himalayan goat-antelope)
twice, the last time at 40-50'. It stood absolutely still watching
B.S. cont. us & appeared to be quite happy & unafraid. It was in excellent
Ludlow spotting birds condition, with a good grey coat & fair horns. Found a few
from Damthang well filled ticks on me this morning & Ludlow got a louse. The
bungalow. jungle seems to be full of them, but no leeches anyway -
June 4. Pedicularis siphonantha (53) Pedicularis elephas (52) Spiraea bella (51)
Gypsophila cerastioides (54) Iris clarkei (56)
