Two years ago I was In the Yatung valley, at the same elevation as the gorge below Gautsa, which I am now describing, and not a days march from it. The ground was carpeted with Besides the primulas I flowers. counted eight different kinds of them and gentians and anemones and celandines and wild strawberries and Irises, there were the rhododendrons lowing like coals through the pine forest. The rocks were coated with green and yellow moss, which formed a bed for the dwarf rhododendron bushes, then In full flower, white and crimson and green, and every hue between a dark reddish brown nnd a light sulphur yellow, not here and there, but everywhere, Jostling one another for nooks and crannies in the rock.

To disillusion them I cannot do better than to recall my impressions of the valley as I entered It In May two years ago.
