There seems to be a certain amount of friction between our Kashmiris & Puitso, Kurbip & Danung. Probably only due to altitude, in any case is not serious.

22nd July. LONGUR. 8 miles. 13635' (Tulung La B.P. 181.9°. Temp. 50° = Corr. ht. 17130' : Longur B.P. 187.8° Temp 50° = Corr. ht 13635'.) Continue up R bank of river for 1 1/2 miles, then cross to left bank at m 1 1/2. Ascent steep for 1/2 mile then easy till the final ascent of 150 ft, which is exceedingly steep over loose shale. This bit is difficult even for yaks. Tulung La 17430' passed at m 3. This is a bare knife edge pass, but the descent on the south side is taken at an angle. At m 4 the Tulung Chu or Goshu Chu is reached & the R. bank followed down to camp at Longur at m 8. The hillside is very steep & mostly consists of loose shale. In very wet weather this is liable to give some trouble. Grazing fair, clean water from a little below camp. Fuel ample. Longur is at the junction of a side stream from the west. // Rather a disappointing day. It rained most of the

SUMMARY:
Notes describe passing through plains with vast profusions of white Primula near Gela, with additional sightings of yellow Oxalis, red Pedicularis, a fine red Primula, and a large violet Thalictrum. Despite the abundance of flowers, the observers express some disappointment beyond these highlights.

Ludlow 60 Gela. White primula accompanied us the
whole way. On all the flat grassy plain they grow
in millions profusion, acres & acres of them, thicker than
buttercups in an English meadow. But apart from the
profusion of these flowers we were disappointed, others only
adding one fine red Primula & a large violet

SUMMARY:
Notes from Tulung La pass describe harsh weather, sparse flowers on unstable shale, and a notable Meconopsis (bella, 708), with a sighting and attempted stalk of six bharal. At Longur there are acres of primulas, and on 23 July the party travels to Mago (Dyuri) in showery conditions, recording temperature, elevation, and abundant primulas along the route.

Tulung La 22nd July pass.
Anemone rupicola 704
Primula sikkimensis 705
Primula bellidifolia 707
Meconopsis bella 708
With rain, mist, and wind, it was chilly up there. On the North side we saw 6 burhel, which I stalked. But we had only a 12-bore with lethal bullets, and I missed at 70 yards four times. Flowers we thought would be profuse, but the hillside is almost continually on the move, shale gradually falling down to the river bed, and everything gets covered with it. The most interesting flower was a new Meconopsis (708) [Meconopsis bella (708)], a pretty little thing, which we thought at a distance to be Paraquilegia.

NB: Here at Longur there are again acres of primulas, white and yellow—a wonderful sight.

184 23rd July. To MAGO (DYURI) 9 3/4 miles. B.P. 191.7° Temp. 53° = Corr. ht. 11350'. Again rather a disappointing day. After a clear night, it rained till noon then cleared up till 2.0 pm.
Primula tibetica (Sikkim?)
We walked through masses of primulas for several miles today. One would think that there should be plenty of flowers in that case. So there

The writer notes that the map poorly represented the terrain encountered. The Goshu Chu valley is extremely precipitous below Chuna, with near-vertical rock faces rising thousands of feet, and the gorges near Nyuri and Diphre are described as stupendous.

Ludlow 60. The map gave us little idea of the country we passed through. The Goshu Chu valley is extremely precipitous below Chuna. Almost vertical rock faces tower upwards for several thousand feet from the river whilst in the immediate neighborhood of Nyuri & Diphre the gorges become stupendous.

SUMMARY:
Notes a method to store green seeds using a CO2-filled soda syphon bottle and describes dramatic cliffed terrain with poor flowering. Describes friendly local yak herders resembling Takpas and details the path along the Tulung Chu with numerous river crossings to Dyuri (opposite Nyuri), correcting the map location of very hot springs to the left bank above Dyuri.

its seeds green, so they will be put in a bottle of the soda syphon, empty of water, but full of CO2 squirted into the bottle. When it cleared up today, we got rather a surprise. Instead of the plain we expected here, we found sheer cliffs everywhere, rising to 2000 or 4000 ft from the valley bed - a fine sight. But flowers poor. The locals are nice people, out to please. They are more like Takpas than Tibetans, wear the pressed felt hat, but with 10 or 12 drip tips instead of the Takpas four or so. They have no fields here and no food of their own is grown here. They are purely yak herds, exchange their milk and yak produce for grain from down the valley near Tawang.

Path crosses the side stream by a bridge at camp and so down the R. bank of the Tulung Chu. Thence crosses the main river twice before Chuna. After Chuna the river is crossed for 8 times. Path first over open hillside, then through jungle, finishing on the L bank where Dyuri is situated at m 8. Nyuri is exactly opposite. The sides of the valley are extremely precipitous. The hot springs (half a mile above Dyuri) marked on the map should be on the left bank, not the R. as shown. Both banks. The water is too hot to hold the hand in, where it

SUMMARY:
The Monbas fear raids by Lobas from the Dirang district south of the Tse La, keeping their houses dark and secretly growing potatoes in the jungle to avoid theft. The Lobas reportedly visit the Monbas twice a year to exchange foodstuffs for salt and are expected in a few days.

Ludlow p. 63

The Monbas are terribly afraid of the Lobas from the Dirang district south of the Tse La. They have windows in their houses but close them up. All is darkness within. They say if there was light the Lobas would be able to see their belongings & steal them. Again when we asked if they could supply us with potatoes they said they had none - but they grow their potatoes in secret places in the jungle for fear of the Lobas who would steal them if they were planted around their houses.

The Lobas appear to visit the Monbas twice a year to exchange foodstuffs for salt. They are due in a few days.

SUMMARY:
The party halts at Dyuri, noting cool springs, poor grazing except higher up, and very small villages with limited supplies such as eggs, butter, and yak milk. A fair day is spent photographing helpful locals and carrying out tasks like drying birds and plants, while learning that potatoes are secretly grown in the jungle due to fear of Darrang people and that houses lack windows because of fear of Lopas (Abors) from the Dirang direction.

emerges from under a rock. There are several springs, some of which are quite cool. Grazing poor, except high up the hillside. Supplies - no grain of any kind or vegetables grown. Some hens and eggs available, and butter and milk from the herds of yaks kept. Both villages are very small consisting of about 15 houses. People pleasant, more like Takpas than Tibetans //.

24th July. Halt at Dyuri. A fair day: clouded nearly all day, but little rain. The locals are a good crowd, and are being very helpful. I took photos of some of them today, and amused them greatly by letting them look at each other, upside down in the ground glass. Also took a color photo of a woman with all her beads on.

Potatoes.
It seems there are potatoes to be had here, but they are grown in the jungle, hidden away from the Darrang people, whom they fear. Gooseberries are to be had everywhere, and form a very pleasant change. These people here are very frightened of the Lopas, the Abors from Dirang direction. We asked them why they had no windows in their house. All are quite dark inside. Their answer was that when the Lopas came here, they went into their houses, as if

SUMMARY:
Notes on local practices including dark houses, potatoes grown in jungle clearings, and bamboo pipes, with the diarist giving some Barney's mixture to a man. On 25th July they halted at Dyuri with rain most of the day; on 26th July they marched 6¾ miles to CHIRACHUN (GORJO CHU), with yaks from Nyuri and Dyuri, were advised against the Dungma Chu route, and felt optimistic about finding flowers.

CONTENT:
the houses were dark, they would not see what things they had in them. For the same reason they grow their potatoes in the middle of the jungle. Usually there are cleared areas near villages where crops are grown, but here there isn't a single field, & the only thing they grow is potatoes. We haven't managed to get any yet, but two men promised to bring some yesterday. A number of them smoke pipes. Where they get the tobacco from I have not yet discovered. The pipes are mostly made of bamboo, like most things are. I gave some Barneys mixture to one man yesterday, much to his delight.

25th July - Halt at Dyuri. Mostly taken up in writing mail. Rained nearly all day.

26th July. CHIRACHUN (GORJO CHU) 6 3/4 miles. B.P. 189.0° Temp 53° = Corr. ht. 13055'. Yaks came half from Nyuri, & half from Dyuri. All men seemed quite happy. They advised us not to go up the Dungma Chu, as the 'road' was bad. This one was good they said. I'm glad we didn't try the Dungma Chu. I was a bit anxious about flowers, as we seemed rather to have come to a bad place. But after today, I think all will likely be well. We are
