(,Z.UIE'T AT GYANTSE 183
Gyantse was indeed a delightful change from 'Tuna.
It was, in the first place, nearly 2,000 feet lower, so
naturally warmer. In addition, spring was coming on.
Leaf-buds were beginning to sprout on the willows. The
little irises in plenty were appearing. And birds of several
rare varieties came to rejoice Captain Walton's heart and

Resident would have been accompanied by a Tibetan
Commissioner capable of negotiating with me. But on
April 22 I received a despatch from the Resident, stating,
indeed, his intention of arriving at Gyantse before May 12,
but giving no news that a proper Tibetan Commissioner had
been appointed. He stated that the Lhasa General had
