Just a number of camels were seen in field as plowing; then are the first we have seen since Sichwaning. The cattle here are without horns but small like Indian ones now; the valley is given over to rice fields widely terraced, now planted to wheat in winter; On the way we saw a pair of giant lanergyes, some large mergansers + several fidda geese.
