SUMMARY:
An easy ascent of Nyala La was followed by a steep descent to the small villages of Loro Tö. Lumsden stalked gazelle but missed, while the author wounded an Ovis ammon and later he and Ludlow tried unsuccessfully to approach two more. Locals provided limited transport by donkeys and dzos, and plants noted included Primula pygmaeorum and emerging irises along the stream.

valley, keeping to the left or north. Ascent to the Nyala La (16900') easy, passed at 11.4. Then steep down for a mile, and easier descent down to Loro Tö, one or two small villages of 3 or 4 houses, where there is some cultivation. Lumsden tried again for gazelle 1 m. below the pass. He had a good stalk, and missed. At the pass there were a number of gazelle. While after them I saw some Ovis ammon and went after them, getting a shot with the .410 at about 80 yds. I only wounded one and unfortunately did not follow up my shot at once, when I would have had a perfect chance.

Ludlow and I then had great fun trying to get near enough two ammon who knew where we both were - one on either side of them. They did a most unusual thing, went straight downhill about 800 ft or more, and escaped. The locals here are very kind and attentive. They have transport of donkeys and dzos waiting for us, but only take us on a stage, and a small one at that. There is little to be seen here: the hillsides appear particularly bare, but along the bank of the stream there is some grass and Primula pygmaeorum in flower. Iris are coming up and the

SUMMARY:
The author disturbed a tragopan pheasant near Nyeng Sang La and fired hurried shots without success, noting the local birds are thought to be the rare 'molesworthi' race. At Sakden, half a dozen men searched over four days to capture a specimen, but the birds proved difficult to obtain during the breeding season due to their skulking in dense jungle.

Ludlow 32 - near the top (Nyeng Sang La)
We disturbed a tragopan pheasant which I had a couple of hurried shots at, apparently without doing any damage. The tragopans here are supposed to belong to a rare race called 'molesworthi' and I regretted very much not getting this bird. At Sakden I have had half a dozen men out during the past 4 days trying to capture a specimen of this bird without success. These birds are very difficult to obtain during the breeding season. Not that they are scarce but because they are such skulkers in such dense jungle.

SUMMARY:
At Nyingsang La the party gathered several rhododendrons between the north and south passes, noted Primula boothii in bud, and faced difficulties with a pony while traveling from Tsona via Tawang. Sanders felt cold compared to October 1934, and Pimbo ensured rapid travel; on the 14th November halt they dried rhododendron seed and briefly collected a small epiphytic rhododendron.

Nyingsang La. 2850g.
La. we got another 3 or 4 rhododendrons & several more between the N pass & the S one, none epiphytic shrubs from this side. No flowers seen. I started to ride, but gave up after one hour as the pony could not carry me & barely go on itself. Sanders feels pretty cold, but not nearly so cold as in Oct. 1934. On the way up the north side, we saw a lot of Prim. Boothii, but just small buds very densely covered with thick yellowish farina. Pimbo has done well to get us here in 5 days from Tsona, and with no later arrival than 4.30 at Tawang & here. These are both long marches, with a lot of climbing in them.

14th November. Halt. A beautiful morning, clouds coming up by midday, mist low in the evening. Spent the day drying yesterday's rhododendron seed, and only out a short time, getting one small epiphytic rhod (2853) [R. camelliiflorum 2853, 2852], the flower of which we collected in March, & a
