among dwarf juniper and scrub, most difficult to find. It has a most queer metallic note, and I think it should prove interesting. Got a glimpse of the higher hills today, and saw where I want to go tomorrow. A chit should come from Ludlow tomorrow: if he is going to return soon, I may move on. But I think we should return to Tsona by either this route or the one from the march above Dyuri-Nyuri.

5th August. Halt at Chujupnaga. A filthy day again, rain and mist all day. Rode up on a yak to a point North of the Chujup la and wandered among what should be fine country to the north. Masses of P. congestifolia, looking really beautiful in patches a foot across. Nothing new except perhaps a gentian. Heard from Ludlow this evening. No good in Luguthang. He went over the Truka La (B.P.? 185° Temp 51° = Ht. approx 15246'). Luguthang he made B.P. 188.4° Temp 53° = Ht approx. 13283'. He returns today, reaching Nyuri tomorrow. So do I. And everyone will be thoroughly glad to get back there. Saw snow cock on the tops today and a snipe, which looked like fan tail.

6th August. To DYURI. 5 miles. Rain when we left at 6.45, but gradually cleared up, was sunny down here
