SUMMARY:
After camping in the same garden and awaiting news of Ludlow, the party notes on a halt at Sanga Choling that Ludlow and company had arrived from the other side of the Char La. A lost dog was replaced by a friendly newcomer, and Ludlow secured notable bird specimens and many primulas, with the best collecting on the Lo La and abundant flowers and rhododendrons around the lake.
CONTENT:
twice on the way here. No sign of Ludlow, and no news of him either, but I am hoping he may arrive tomorrow. Camped in the same garden as before.
L. & S. join forces again
3rd August. Halt Sanga Choling. Ludlow & Co arrived on the evening of 30th July, having come from the other side of the Char La, a long march. All very fit: Ludlow pretty thin.
The party only differed in the dogs: Tumshu was fortunately lost, having proved a complete washout. In his place a nondescript bitch - now named Wamo the fox - attached herself. She is a great improvement, full of life & friendly. Ludlow did well. In the bird line, he got two new species - another fulvetta & a woodpecker, & rediscovered an Ixops. He also got 3 juveniles of my wren & two adults. About 150 flowers, including some lovely primulas. And among the primulas are 8 or 10 different to the collection. So we should now have nearer 50 species than 40. On the whole it has been fully worth while our separating. The best ground for collecting seems to have been the Lo La. South of the main range there was nothing. Round the lake, there were a great many flowers, & rather surprisingly a great no. of rhododendrons.
