SUMMARY:
The writer notes heavy tick infestations, photographs a Lopa at Lung identified as a Ding Abor, and mentions Giris and a third tribe down the Subansiri. On 3rd May at Trün (his birthday), Danang and Tenduk return with an anemone (1540) and a distinct rhododendron (1541), report a gompa and nearby houses on an upper road, and the writer observes flowering loniceras, attractive podophyllum (1538), and a primula from Natrampa.

many ticks about here too. In the bamboo they seem to swarm. Ludlow got one on him yesterday. And when he got up in the night, he found it on the place where the wounded Irishman said to the kind old lady "if you'd been wounded where I was ma'am, you wouldn't have been wounded at all".

The Lopa whose colour photo I took at Lung is a Ding Abor. Others with white woollen clothes are called Giris. There is said to be a third tribe down the Subansiri, who are said to be the worst of the lot, who wear nothing but a loin covering of monkey skin.

3rd May. Trün 6 am. My birthday. Nothing much exciting. Danang and Tenduk came back, but had nothing much except a rather nice anemone 1540, and a rhododendron which looks different 1541. He said there were primulas coming on, and many rhododendrons too. He reports a large gompa up there, and beside it about 15 houses. The road there from here is good, and must be much pleasanter than the low one. Nothing much here. I found two loniceras in flower, and the podophyllum 1538, is really very pretty when out in numbers. The little primula from Natrampa collected.
