Started back after measuring up new birds, abt 8.30 & went 2 miles along road to get in the lateral spurs from the Koupru ridge. We returned to old camp. Bkfasted & then ascending the slope of detritus that bounded the Omah stream, the road led over it & the last slopes of the hills for 4 miles. Most of it through forest. Birds very abundant & I got a few, among them a very handsome Earrulay which Ogle knocked over in the evening. We sauntered along believing that the march was short, & allowed evening to overtake us for it proved much further. We met the torches & lanterns sent out for us & reached camp at Sengmai about 7 o/c. After passing the last spurs from Koupru a wide open valley comes into view, bounded in the West by the southern extension of that ridge & on the East by low spurs that turn out from North-South. The valley is covered with much light grass & but very few trees are to be seen & those only isolated ones. A few villages begin to appear in the distance marked by their fruit & bamboo clumps about the houses as in the plains. The slopes from the Koupru ridge are bare for more than 1/2 way up. There forest comes in & extends to the summit, the face here & there shewing [sper] scarps of bare rock. The outline of the ridge is pretty broken into peaks rising every 5 miles or so. Our camp was just outside the village of Sengmai & here had been erected a few huts for our occupation & presents of rice, fowls & eggs given on part of the Raja. Min temp at night here 36o - a great difference. |
