From LANGONG to MOLO via the TSE LA. Follow down the L bank of the Langong Chu to m 2, where a large valley comes in from 350° M. This is followed up through forest to m 4, where the valley opens out a little & a series of grassy wet meadows is met. At m 5, the main valley comes from the N. West, this is left, & a small, narrow & steep valley is followed up to the North. The ascent to m 6 is very steep through rhododendrons & the path difficult for any transport but yaks. At m 6 a small meadow is reached, this forms a suitable camping ground. Rhododendron fuel available. (BP. 186.4. T. 50° 3.30pm. 21.6.38). This camp is called YAMTO.

SUMMARY:
Notes from the Tang Chu area record collections of primulas, saxifrages, rhododendrons, and Paraquilegia, observations from a ridge around 15,000 ft with barometric and temperature readings, and a storm that soaked the party. A halt on 8th June is noted with fine weather until late afternoon and three days of work remaining.

CONTENT:
Saxifraga 3210 - see 7th Aug.
P. umbratilis var. alba 3212
primulas were seen, some collected, No 3213. These had no flowers out.
3213 appears to be like P. umbratilis, but it is too early to say yet.
Rhod. pogonophyllum 3216 R. hypenanthum
Some interesting rhods were also seen, e.g. 3216 a minute thing of 1-2",
anthopogon Rhod. campanulatum 3218
& 3217 about 6" high. Finally there was the deepest coloured Isopyrum
Paraquilegia anemonoides 3214
I have ever seen 3214. We were all caught in the storm, &
arrived back soaked to the skin. The view from the top of the range,
which gave BP 18.6 Temp 55 Time 1200, = 15000 approx, was grand,
though nothing over 20000 was seen. The Br. Mt showed up clearly, with
no clouds, even up to 1200 noon. There is a good deal yet to be
done in this area, we have three days left.
Tang Chu area - up to 15000f
8th June. Halt. Another lovely day, fine up till 4.
