we heard so often in the Salween valley & thought it a frog call, It is repeated over over again to very froglike & deceptive. Our camp is pitched at the village of Hui-yao (Line Hill) on a grave place amidst the houses. The country here produces much dense & hills are in operation in many places. The rocks used is a white marble spotted with gray. A fierce fire of branches is kept burning along the ridge for about 4 hours in order to drive the dense wholes piled at the top out out of poisonous creatures. Llewism returned to Teng'yeul at 3 P.M. where I will arrive at dusk on his spirited pony. He has two very good live ponies which cost him 750.0 each bare in Chinese money. Should they prove worth it, gold each,
