developed a septic arm from a leech bite, & Ludlow has

8th July. Halt at TRONGSA. Fair for half the day. Went to the Dzong,
which is the Maharaja's winter residence, & had lunch with
Dorji, & an excellent lunch it was too. After lunch had

doing up bird.

deciduous jungle & bamboo: immediately over the pass nothing
but conifers & the country much more open, with pasture
here & there. This valley is far the finest & richest we
have seen. It is open, with well wooded slopes all
round. A very comfortable new camp built here
