SUMMARY:
Notes that only half capsules of 'Sherriffii' were obtained as the plants were shrivelled. Suggests the grassy cliffs between Satsalor and Cheneykar in the Dewangiri Range warrant further exploration, with Drake believing the area may hold interesting Primulas up to over 7000.

CONTENT:
215 Ludlow to Satsalor
I only got half capsules of Sherriffii
The plants were all shrivelled up
"I think these grassy cliffs between Satsalor
& Cheneykar - really the Dewangiri Range
would repay further exploration & Drake
thinks they would hold the Primulas
equally as interesting as further Sherriffii
Needham. They go up to more than 7000."

Lovely Camping site
Ludlow to Tso bunang Aug 26 - L. 160: 162

Good stretch of journey - suddenly, at about 3 miles from Tsare we came upon the first of a chain of 4 lakes. They were crystal clear & their setting amidst the fir forest was one of the loveliest sights of its kind I have ever seen in the Himalaya - lowest lake was the smallest, the other 3 about 1/2 mile long by 400 yds broad. We camped by the head of the 3rd lake near the water's edge & seldom have I had a more beautiful camping ground. A little grassy islet with a fine clump of (Sikkimensis yellow) primulas lay within a few yards of my tent door.

Many blackbirds on the W of the lake.

certainly feel these high altitudes more and more
each year."
