biting flies or mosquitoes A night? The only animal trapped has been the horse with 3 pinings mosquitoes. This morning we had a heavy joint fog which lasted until 10 AM. Yesterday there was a similar fog whirling down from the hills the valley being filled by a freezing white mass in which we could look down to the valley where the sun was shining brightly as we descended. (18) The next last night people were filling the village with loads for the market day, all morning they streamed in by small parties carrying loads on their backs or poles & knives for hire. Most of the people came from the far side where a high range bounds the valley as a wall & reaches 900 feet.
