211 Feb. 10 I sat in the last seat. A few anxious moments as we bounced and sweared down through the clouds. It was raining and the cloud ceiling was at perhaps 500 ft. Coconut and Nipah palms seen as we came in for landing. We also crossed some orange(?) swamps and tortuous turbid mires. Everything wet. At the airport were two mobile guns on caterpillar treads - Tank like vehicles, and at the hotel military personnel were seen. This is an area of unrest. An overcast dreary day. About 5:30 went out near my hotel, the Burma, and looked about. Found the sensitive plant again, some in bloom with "fuzzy" pink blossoms, growing like a weed along the border of a play field and drainage ditch. In a hedge now tangle, I found 3 leaf ant nests (Oecophylla) The ants had bound up a cluster of leaves "Kerenga" To make a compact mass 3-4" across. (The Indian name) The ants stood about on and near their nest. They were inactive because of the overcast and rain. When I put my hand in to feel the nest two were soon on me. A slim striped lizard with bright lemon yellow throat and neck was seen about 3 ft. off the ground on the S side of the growth but it dropped out of sight when prepared to catch it. It was colored much like Gerhousness galeric but had duller scales.
