in the ground were clearer owing to a whole scale of different shades of colour in green and yellow that seemed to form shadows and reflections. The conviction I had formed previously that this stretch of road would not present any great difficulty to heavy wheeled traffic was strengthened during the day's journey. There is room on the steepest slopes, if necessary, to make the road zigzag less sharply, and on a couple of slopes, where the ground is stoniest, it should not present serious obstacles to traffic on wheels.

Fortunately, there were a Chinese and a Sart in the village, who supplied passing caravans with the most necessary stores at high prices.
My photographs of the superior and the oldest lamas achieved great success. They were passed round from hand to hand, producing much merriment among the inhabitants of the monastery, of whom 99 per cent had certainly never seen a photograph before. Thanks to this good impression I got them to allow me to photograph a service. The modest lamas interrupted it and stood still, in full canonicals, while I counted 6o, the boys
