great mountains, similar to the
one at Lichiang. The lower part
of this valley near the gorge
was covered hundreds of rice
terraces but the upper part was
devoted to maize & millet, the
valley being probably governed
a cold climate. The village
at camp is called Ha-pa.
There is no definite village
but houses scattered in fields.
The inhabitants suffer much
from syphilis & also an eye infect
ion which swells the lids &
nearly closes the eyes.
22 We spent the day at
Ha-pa as the country
looked favorable for game.
We went out early with 2
local hunters & then 5
dogs but the dogs were of
no value true game no
game. Our rat trap produced
1 Rats, killed Sarey (Brown
Sorex), one silver mule (present
collection) & a light Aphanius.
