Kuei-Chou is a similar country & rolling without any really high ranges. It is described as gameless by More-Bennett & others who have been thru it. Along the road we have been traveling to we have seen no cat tracks in the soft earth & it is apparently devoid of rodents carrioness & ? largest animal. The small wildlife is abundant & the bush & tree growth in great variety with many fruits fruits for food. We reached a low level valley some 4 miles in width & dotted by many villages. This we crossed & stopped at Yun-man-yi - a town on the west border. Here we camped in a large old temple on the hillside.
