left west gate and ran the gauntlet first (walking) and got clear 

 past before the firing began. None of us were injured. 



In my party is Rev. Thomas Torrance, Q.R.&.S. acting as guide, 

 for he is very garni liar with this region, Br. W. B. Morse, anthro- 

 pologist, and Dr. Agnew, famous for his discovering of the cause of 

 dental cavities. 



The altitude here on the pass is 5300 feet. 



I did no shooting today because there is war not far away, and 

 shooting might stir up the Chinese and cause trouble. 



Yang Fong Tsang and Ho Son Chuen are supposed to be working 

 just on the other side of this pass, and I am hoping that we can 

 connect up with them tomorrow and they can join the party. 



July 19. We reached a place about 3 miles down the river from 

 Tao Khan. The name is Yin Shin ^ISftr and the altitude 3900 feet. 



This morning my messengers got into touch v/ith Ho Son Chuen 

 and Yang i^ong Tsang. They met me 15 li down from the summit, on the 

 road. They are to work the same spot as before instead of coming 

 along with me. They have a number of large mammals. We got a good 

 catch of night moths last night at Yang Tsi Lin Pass, the altitude 

 of which is 5200 feet. 



July 20. We travelled to a small village just 10 li down the 



T 



river from Hao Kuan. Ho Son Chuen is c oming along to help train 

 my two students so they can do better skinning. We get a fair catch 

 of insects. Last night very few insects were caught by means of 

 the lanterns.
