31st July - Halt. Another good day, with very heavy rain indeed at night. Each day here has been good & each night very very wet. We were left alone today, except for a few odd things sent to us from someone.

1st August - Gyechar Again fine & sunny until after we reached here at 2.0pm, when there was some rain. We left at 8.0 & H.H. & Luden came out to meet us. Then on, past Lame Gompa where Tasho Penlo Wangdi gave us tea & 'ao-ed' to us from the window of the Dzong. It was very hot & sunny, but very pretty up to the pass, where the Thalictrum (chelidonii?) was really magnificent. Some of the plants were 10 feet high, bearing huge heads of flowers. We should get ample seed there. Ngudup came on here to give us food & see that all was in readiness for us. Betty stood the journey well, but two slips on the clay path near the end hurt her arm a good deal.

2nd August - Trongsa Dzong. From 5.10 am till 11.45, with halt on top of the pass, & the usual flower halts. A perfect day, blue sky & bright sun, of course very hot indeed down here, but there is a breeze. Nothing much to be seen on the way, of any interest, but we got some seeds - of 2 raspberries, & a few of Streptopus & Clintonia. We should get more on our way back. Betty much better today, not feeling her arm so much. H.H. has provided food again here for us all, servants included.

3rd August - Tashiling A clear night & hardly a cloud in the sky this morning. A good march, never too hot, as we were off by 5.15, through the huge Dzong, & down to the bridge over the
