on the way back here, except that rhododendrons have come on a good deal. And the fine yellow peony (Paeonia lutea var. ludlowii) 1376, is more in bloom too, shows very handsome. I took a number of seeds from it today. I also noticed some fine Tsuga brunoniana trees. Mostly the higher slopes seem to be covered with two firs (Picea spinulosa), which I have collected under Nos. 1395 and

Danong & Tenduk go up the hills to the South for the next two nights. The country looks good & should contain something worth while. There is a path leading from Dotrang to the Karhongla, on the South side of which they say there are many Lopas.

Natrampa. 2nd May. Halt. Last night Danong sent back the first fruits of his excursion - a rhododendron, which I think we had seen before, and a primula (Primula calderiana 1396). The latter is P. Roylei, one of the finest there is to my mind. I have photographed it today, & made a most awful hash of my photographs, doing everything possible wrong that I could. However after ruining five precious films, I got a good one, & also of that queer little rhododendron, No. 1355 (Rhododendron glaucophyllum). Pimbo cut his leg rather badly the other day, & had to have a stitch in it, is pretty lame now. There are

18th May Ganju Tang. A long march over the Rudo La taking from 5:00 am till 2:00 pm. I was lucky I had a mule which nobly carried me to the top of the pass with hardly a bit left out. We took from 5:00 till 10:00 to reach the pass, and it was through rain and mist all the way. Curiously, the mist disappeared on the west side. There had been no rain this side all day. It is obviously a much drier side, as the flora showed that. The East side is the one for Rhododendrons without a doubt. There are many more on that side. Primula elongata (18897) was not seen on the East. Primula hookeri not on the west. Altogether we got 21 flowers today, all nice. How pleasant to see alpines again after all the low muck I've seen for 2 weeks or more. Primula calderana (18890), elongata (18895), hookeri (18896) and smithiana (18900) were taken. Primula sikkimensis only in bud. We also got Diapensia (18891), but saw no Bry
