SUMMARY:
Specimens from 4000–6500 ft are listed, and during a journey to Chungkar the writer found Primula filipes in bloom on a cliff and in profusion near Kheri Gompa, with notes on seed timing and scarcity of other flowers. Conditions were very dry compared to the previous year, with only Rhododendron arboreum in flower and fair weather. The following day’s halt at Kheri Gompa yielded nothing notable.

23rd Feb. CHUNGKAR 6500 12 miles. I left at 6.0 am, in high
hopes of finding some good flowers on the rock face at about
mile 8 or 7. But we are too early yet. The country is very
dry indeed, & where last year the cliff was covered in soaking
wet moss, this year it was all dry as dust. Signs were
seen of Primula sherriffiae (552) & P. ludlowii (554) in the dry moss, just waiting for damp
to bring them on. The only interesting flower seen was
P. filipes, 1126, found among P. sherriffiae & P. ludlowii (552 & 554) on the same cliff.
It was in full bloom. Not a very pretty primula, but
dainty, with 5 or 6 flowers on a stem. Colour varies from white
to heliotrope where it is in shade. Also found at Kheri Gompa
close to Chungkar, just beside the road immediately under the
Gompa & straight up towards the Gompa from there in profusion.
Seeds should be ready in 2 or 3 months. Last year we
failed to find seeds of P. ludlowii (554), but found some
this year. The seed pod is very low, right down level with
the branching of the leaves which are depressed. Other flowers
were very scarce, only rhododendron arboreum is out. Weather
fair & bright till midday & clear again in the evening.

24th Feb. Halt. Went up to Kheri Gompa but found nothing of any

SUMMARY:
The party halts at Chungkar, notes many Great Hornbills, and meets the Dzongpen of Jonghar, who previously reported on Tobgye to H.H. They march to Satsalor with views of the snows, collect primulas, lily bulbs, and seeds, send off letters and seeds, then proceed to Diwangiri in Assam by following and repeatedly fording a clear, mahseer-filled river.

8th Nov. Halted Chungkar. Another perfect day after yesterday's rain. This place seemed so good for birds that we decided to halt an extra day here, and have one less in Diwangiri. The Dzongpen of Jonghar turned up in the evening. He is Tobgye's particular bête noire, but to us seemed decent enough. He once falsely reported the price of lac to H.H. and told the latter that Tobgye had been getting better prices than he had and had been pocketing half.

[Marginal notes: Ludlow p. 165. Birds: large numbers of the Great Hornbill below Chungkar, between Chungkar and Satsalor feeding on fruit.]

9th Nov. SATSALOR. 12 miles 3000'. A very fine day which gave us good views of the snows, the last we shall see this trip. Appropriately enough, the first primulas (on the cliff - 552 and 554) are at the first place from which the snows are visible. I found 2 more lily bulbs on the cliff, a few seeds, and four more heads of 552 seeds. A very pleasant camp down here — found a mail waiting for us too.

[Marginal notes: Pri. Sherriffae 552 and ludlowii 554. Lil. nepalense var. concolor 559.]

10th Nov. Halt Satsalor. Sent off a few letters and seeds.

11th Nov. DIWANGIRI (in Assam). 2500' 7 miles. Instead of the double climb up ridges, we were able to follow the river down till opposite Diwangiri, a very great blessing. The river has to be forded a dozen times or more, but that is now easy. Water beautifully clear and full of mahseer. Rained off and on most of last
