The catch of moths tonight was poorer than that of last night* Still 

 it remains hot and dry, with no rain. Several of the moths caught tonight 

 look very interesting hut there were very few of them. This district ought 

 to be an excellent place in which to collect, but because of the drought, 

 it is poor at present.

Aug. 28. We are spending the night at Dosig Di Pu, 60 li from 



G $h)en 



Zong Shun. *t is a small town. Still no rain. We got what seems to be 

 a rare kind of wasp, two specimens. 



I have today had a taste of the best side of the c hinese. The militia 

 officer who is the head official, was exceedingly polite and accomodating. 



Aug. 29. Last night's catch of moths was a little larger than on 

 previous days, but still small . 



We travelled 40 li over steep roads to Tseo Jia Keo, . then climbed to 

 the home of Yang Fong Gsarg on the side of the mountain . He lives in a 

 small house having a straw roof. 



I left the netter Lai in the town of Tseo Jia Keo, alt. about 2,000 feet, 

 and we are using the gasolene lanterns at Yang 1 s home. 



Aug. 50. We got about one box of insects last night, some of which 

 are very interesting. Lai got a kind of butterfly that I got only once before, 

 and in this section. Today the sky is clouding up a bit. 

 Labelled boxes 421-424, all dried insects. 



I took a number of anthropometric al measurements, mostly of Chuan Miar 

 aborigines.
