He was one of six who were killed or wounded. He has a big wide 

 gash on his forehead at least two inches long and clear to the tone, 

 and another bad gash on the hip. Mr. 1' or ranee and I are going to 

 each pay half his expenses and take him to Chengtu to be treated. 

 If he is left here he will be poorly cared for and infection will 

 probably cause his death. This earthquake must have done a great deal 

 of damage in Eastern Libet . It completely destroyed a town hear Longpaa . 



Yesterday the collectors all went to a village on the 



mountain 7600 feet altitude thinking they would have good success with 

 the night lantern • The place is quite exposed, a projecting mountain, 

 so there was such a strong wind that no insects came ♦ Today of in- 

 sects they got only bees. I therefore had them come to the city of 

 Wen Chuan, and tonight the night moths are coming fine. On the moun- 

 tain at the elevation of 7600 they captured a big red snake of a 

 species I never saw before. I think it will interest Dr. Stejneger (?)
