Several times during the past few years I have come to T s anglin s hi en or 



Tsanglln with the intention of going in to Tseo-Jai- u eo, but have been re- 

 quested by the magistrate not to go. It would have been the same this time 



if I had tried to go in from Tsanglin instead of Kongshien. 



The altitude of Tsanglinshien, on the -olain, is about 1200 feet. At 



the village of Tseo-Jia-Geo it is about 2500 feet. There are hills or 



mountains near Tseo-Jia-Geo that probably reach the altitude of 7000 or 8000 



feet. 



Sept. 5. Labelled and filled box 429, dried insects from Tseo-Jia- 

 Geo; also labelled box 450, dried insects. It rained most of the day, but 

 we gathered a pint of tiny fishes and a few m r ater insect?. The collector Lai 

 expects to spend most of the night collecting night insects. 



Sept. 6. F 0 r some strange reason the catch of night moths last 

 night was small. 



It rained all last night and a couple of hours after daylight this mornin, 

 It rained again this afternoon. Very few insects were out. 



We travelled 80 11 to Ngan Lin Chiao . "e will go tomorrow to Li Duan 

 Tsang, catching night moths tomorrow night. 



The country we are in just now is so similar to the vicinity of Suifu in 

 altitude, kind of shrubbery, etc., that I think it best to get to Suifu as 

 quickly as possible, cutting down expenses by dismissing the carrier coolies. 

 We can work near Suifu without using coolies much of the time. At Suifu I 

 can also view the collecting of fish specimens by watching the catches of 

 the Suifu fishermen.
