the seventh month, a fair used to be held at Nagrong-, and at that time about I oo tents from the surrounding valleys used to come, as well as some merchants. In the region, there is then good grass for the herds. The nomads stay about a a month, after which, and after having finished their bargain, they return to their valleys. At a short distance to the west of Nagrong, two tents were said to be pitched. The owners possessed some 700 sheep and used to wander to the fair of Gyanima every year. They would probably be able to sell sheep to us. I sent some of my men to the place, and the assertions of the Lama proved to be correct. My servants had wandered two hours and crossed a little pass beyond which they found a tent, the other being at some distance from it. The inhabitants were one man, one woman and four children. They had complained of the weather which, this year, was severer and more windy than usual, and the flocks had been suffering from it. Five sheep and two goats had been bought by my men. We, therefore, now had a caravan of 25 sheep carrying most of our luggage and provisions. If we continued S. E., we would come across some I o or z o tents of which they knew, but on my road from i 90 I we would not find any nomads, as this region is inhabited only during the summer.
TO NAGRONG.
