foliis subtus argenteis, Rhodod. gemmis viscosis. Berberis asiatica,
Hamamelidea? Bambusa microphyllum, Philadelphus, Thibaudia orbicularis,
Mespilus microphyllus, Taxus or Abies Brunonis, Ilex dipyrena, occur. The
sward shews small grasses, all past flower, Hemiphragma, Thymus,
Dipsacus, Juncus niveus, Gnaphalia 2, 3, Potentilla.

The fields have Crucifera Lamium and Verbascum, a late biennial species,
Caule simplici, Hemiphragma.

The marshy spots abound with Juncus effusus, and shew also a Primula out
of flower, and a Xyris past flowering.

Along the bed of the river, Hippophae is the most common plant. Lastly,
a few trees occur of Q. ilecifolia, which assumes a very handsome
character, looking much like a Conifera at some distance, one group
occurs near the village, and a solitary tree or two elsewhere. The other
woody vegetables are Rosa fructibus hispidis, Cycnium, Pomacea arbuscula,
and one or two other deciduous shrubs. The willow tree is also common.

_March 1st_.--Marched to Byagur, we were told that the march was a
short one, and that we should continue throughout along the Bhoomlungtung
river, which is called Tung-chiew. We did keep along this for about two
miles, when we struck off into the hills passing through a village, we
continued rising for perhaps 1,000 feet, when we descended to a small
nullah. Leaving this we commenced an ascent, and a very long one too,
and continued to ascend until we surmounted the ridge overlooking the
river, on which Byagur or Iugur is situated. To the place we descended,
the march was fourteen miles, direction westerly. Highest ground
traversed about 9,500 feet high. Road throughout winding round and up
hills, through woods of Abies pendula: nothing of interest occurred.
Magpies, crows, chatterer feeding on pine cones, common in woods at 9,000
feet. Passed two or three villages, all containing ruined houses.
Direction we pursued was that of the Tung-chiew river, until we reached
the ridge guiding the Byagur river to it: their junction takes place two
or three miles below this place, Cycnium occurred on the road in plenty,
also Sarcococea.

Horseshoe curlew, the same as we shot at Daimara, common in the
Tung-chiew, along which the chief shrubs are Hippophae and Elaeagnus,
particularly in the islets which are not uncommon in its bed. The common
water wagtail also occurs.

I find that the root of the common Potentilla is used here, as about
Nunklow, as a su
