Mammal Ho. 1172 is a lynx killed about April 1 - 30 in the 

 mountains near Wen Chuan, Szeehuan, China, altitude probably above 

 5000 feet* 



July 24. We travelled to Wei Chow and on to a village called 

 Ka Gu. The altitude of this village is 5200 feet, and of Wei Chow 

 about 5000 feet. 



The country was semi -arid and it was windy, so we caught very 



little. The last time I came into this region there were simply swarms 



of flies, but now there are very few. We tried night moth catching 



tonight, but almost no moths came to the lamps. We secured some 

 July 



lizards. — 25. We travelled Mu Sang ^sai, catching many good insects. 

 The altitude here is 8000 feet. It is a Chiang aborigine town. 



We have had very poor luck catching night moths last night and 

 tonight. The moths did not come at all. 



26. We left some of the loads at Mu Sang Tsai and the collectors 

 and I went up to a temple in the edge of a grove on a nearby mountain. 

 Paring the day I hunted and netted, and Pen f San, and Yao netted. 

 This is a rich place, and we got a good catch during the day. I 

 climbed up a valley and over a pass 10650 feet high. It was very 

 hard climbing and worse because many of the bushes had thorns on them 

 and the road or path was very y rough. We came back: through a valley. 

 I shot a mountain goat at about 300 yards. He fell down the cliff at 

 the first shot, unable to run. We have the lanterns out tonight and 

 the moths have been coming so fast that two people could not catch 

 them part of the time. We set a few traps for small mammals. She 

 altitude at this temple is 8900 feet.
