Halted at Lagnabi near Rocha Chu. Notes mail problems with parcels stuck at Kumarikhata and returned from Rangiya; sent Box No. 3 of flowers and some seeds by air mail. Plans to move to Sana, with Danang going to the Me La for seed; avoiding Bumthang at HH’s request and going to Sakden instead.

Rocha Chu 28th Sept. Halted. Lagnabi.

A mail arrived on 26th with several parcels. I rather think that all our mails from us have now been posted. I had a letter from Spencers in Calcutta saying that they had just received my letter of 28th June asking for 1200 cigarettes for the servants. Spencers thought that as this was such a long time ago they had better verify the order again. So no cigarettes were sent. But the latest trouble is that the P.O. at Kumarikhata cannot send foreign parcels, so that all our bird & flower parcels lie there in that beastly damp, hot atmosphere. The postmaster did his best, & sent off two parcels, but super efficiency in Rangiya apparently returned them. They love doing each other down.

Sent off a mail today, with it Box No 3 of flowers 751 - 869, & some seeds, the latter by air mail. We have about finished here now. Bar Pnoepygas & Tesias there are few birds, we have an excellent series of these. Sana will be the next move, & while we are there Danang will go up to the Me La & start off on seed. It will be a little early, but that can't be helped. HH would rather we did not go to Bumthang as he is busy getting ready for India. I am glad - that saves us a long walk. So we go to Sakden instead. A few of my photos were

SUMMARY:
Notes on receiving mail from Calcutta, ongoing photography with a small camera and limited use of the big camera at Dib La. Locals bring gifts; the Dzongpen of Lhuentse sends a man and has new bridges built over the Khoma and Kuru Chhu in expectation of a visit. On 30th Sept., the party returns to the main valley near Chorten Korra amid fair weather, though the monsoon persists and potted plants are not doing well.

returned by last mail, from Calcutta. All are satisfactory, but I find it very hard indeed to place some of the views. Neither of us has bothered to carry about our big cameras, but I have a Contax with me always, and have a fair collection of snapshots and views, though for the latter, the big camera is preferable. Since we left I have only taken three film packs with it, and nearly the whole of one of them was the other day from the Dib La. We are rather worried by people bringing up presents of fruit and maize: sometimes two come in a day. Today the Dzongpen of Lhuentse sent a man. They had heard we would go there and so had made completely new bridges over the Khoma and Kuru Chhu. How they must curse us sometimes. There is no sign of the end of the monsoon even yet, we have rain daily, though it is fine for most of the day and the jungle except in the morning is reasonably dry. Sent a post off this morning.

30th Sept. CHORTEN KORRA 4 miles 5825'.
Returned to the main valley again. Weather fair till the evening: pretty hot here, but there is a good breeze up the valley all day. The potted plants are not looking too well. They have been in a dark

SUMMARY:
The party halted at Chorten Kora in Trashiyangsi, noting abundant cosmos flowers and a falling river; Damong departed with two men for the Me La, and Ramzana caught a Kalij pheasant. On 2 October they ascended to Sana (c. 8397 ft), with most coolies arriving shortly after, amid changing weather.

Place above grown too much dhobi wash. Damong leaves tomorrow for the Me La - shall return in a week's time. We go to Sana on 2nd. Saw little on the way down. Ramzana caught a Kalij pheasant in the crops on the way down.

1st October. Halted. Chorten Kora. A lovely morning, bright and clear. Clouded over by 10.30. Took some photos, ordinary photos of the Chorten, which was particularly nice just now. It is surrounded by masses of cosmos growing wild. The flowers seem to do very well indeed, being very profuse and big. The Trashiyangsi river too looked very pretty both up and down. It is beginning to fall slightly, which is a hopeful sign. Damong went off with two men to the Me La. Rained a little in the afternoon, but cleared up for a beautiful evening. Every few hours someone comes up to give us some flowers, ferns, fruit, vegetables or something - a great deal possibly out of pure kindness, but also to get a tankha or two. Empty cigarette tins, bottles and so on are worth a lot of money.

2nd October. SANA. ascended to 13 miles. 8397' (BP. 197.0 Temp 60°). Left at 7.30, in at 2.0 pm, most of the coolies reaching here just behind us. A lovely day in the early morning, clouded over by 9.30 and rain by...

SUMMARY:
The party encounters heavy leech infestations and plans to stay six days while Danny goes to Me La. They find a sick Tibetan alone in a shelter and provide food; Kurthip is left behind with fever on a quinine course. A map correction is noted for the road crossing the Dongde Chu and the location of Sana.

1.30, continuing the rest of the evening. Very disappointed to find that there are many leeches here - one can hardly walk 20 yards through grass without getting several. Why they should be here and on the E side of the Trashiyangsi, anywhere between 6000' and 13000', I don't know. Here we have arranged to stay six days (whilst Danny goes to Me La). There is a poor Tibetan all alone here in a shelter. He is ill and has been unable to leave the place for the last 10 days. He has no food, and is in bad pain. It looks as if he had a very bad abscess behind his right shoulder blade. We can at least feed him, though what the treatment is, I don't know. Left Kurthip behind this time, as he is still pretty bad with fever. He is on a course of 20 grains of Quinine a day now for a fortnight. A correction on the map should be made of the road here. It recrosses to the left bank of the Dongde Chu below the mark ("Village"), not above it as shown. The place called Sana by the locals is 1 mile below the place we camp in. The old Sana is overgrown and has no hut and does not appear to be used much as a shelter.

SUMMARY:
Notes referencing Ludlow pages describe a Kalij pheasant cock in near-perfect plumage (race 'horsfieldii') as a skulker of dense jungle except near cultivation edges at this season. They also note that the shyness of most jungle birds is due to their numerous enemies.

Ludlow p. 131. Gola Cock Kalij
pheasant in almost perfect plumage. The
race hereabouts is 'horsfieldii', a
tremendous skulker, keeping to the densest
jungle save at this time of year when they
hang around the edge of cultivation.

Ludlow p. 132. - explanation for shyness
of most jungle birds - their numerous
enemies.

SUMMARY:
Three halt days at Sana with rain, mist, and leeches are described. Ludlow shot a Kalij pheasant; later they saw a tragopan but had no food birds, and meat supplies fluctuated with two hens, two pheasants, and a sheep. A sick Tibetan companion with an abscess was treated with hot compresses, some pus discharged, and they planned to cut it with a razor.

3rd October. Halt Sana. A poor day, rain or mist most of the day, therefore leeches rather in evidence. Found nothing new. Ludlow shot a very fine cock Kalij pheasant. The Tibetan is no better today: in fact the poison has gone down to his right arm and hand, and left leg too it seems. We have put on four large hot compresses today, but there is still no sign of the abscess coming to a head. A Mohammedan is a rotten man when it comes to helping a fellow creature. Our people get all food and ample practically free. They said of course they would feed him. When we looked to see what he was getting, it was dry rice alone. Ma, the sheep has been found and is now no more. The Tibetan will get a piece of him, or her. Meat comes in rushes. We had none for some time; now we have two hens, two pheasant and a sheep.

4th Oct. Halted Sana. Reasonably fine, but cloudy. No food birds: saw a tragopan.

5th Oct. Halted Sana. Rain off and on all day. Mist very low. The Tibetan is rather better today, and some pus came out of the abscess this morning. We intend to cut it this evening, with a razor blade. There seems
