SUMMARY:
Notes describe the Tsari river dropping rapidly like a cataract, with estimates of 500–600 ft per mile after leaving camp. A plant list is recorded at Podzo Sumdo (22 May), and observations at Migyitun note cultivation and a nearby holy lake Tso Kar, with black currants often epiphytic and biting insects common between there and Chick Kar.

L. p. 96. Killing of newly born calves?
(offspring of "Dzos")
Tsari river falling at a tremendous pace.
For over a mile it was nothing but a
cataract confined to a narrow boulder
strewn bed.

L. p. 98 I think the Tsari river must be dropping
500-600 ft per mile for the first mile after leaving camp.
At Migyitun the valley opens out & there is quite a lot of cultivation including barley, potatoes,
turnips etc. Half the inhabitants here are either pure Lobas or have Loba blood in them.
A large stream comes in from the North & 2 marches distant is a holy lake "Tso Kar".
Black currants abound between here & Chick Kar. A curious feature about the bushes
is that they are frequently epiphytic.
Biting midges, ticks, fleas, & of course a louse or two.
