Part 114 - Field notes near Tang Chu, Nyong Chung La, Tsong, and Tsona

1 page

SUMMARY:
Notes record a partridge identified as 'sifanica' rather than 'hodgsoniae' and a couple of Carpodacus (probably 'lucifer'), with no new flowers or butterflies except Parnassius epaphus and abundant mushrooms. Observations include a gazelle on Nyong Chung La, Aconite and Delphinium abundant at Tsong, and peaches bought from traders at Tsona who had come from the Tawang area, with only one postal delivery in the past couple of months.

flowers or butterflies here just above
Tang Chu I got a partridge which
turned out to my surprise to be 'sifanica'
not 'hodgsoniae'. I also got a
couple of Carpodacus (prob 'lucifer').
It was disappointing seeing no Parnassius
except the common epaphus. Mushrooms
abound here.
