About This Book
A series of field journals records expeditions across Assam, Burma, Bhootan, Afghanistan and neighbouring territories, blending day-to-day travel narrative with systematic natural-history observations. Chapters cover surveys of tea districts, mountain and river excursions, military marches and high-pass crossings, paired with botanical and zoological notes, fish and plant lists, and microscope remarks. Measured barometrical heights, latitudes, and meteorological data accompany mapped routes. Plates and sketches illustrate notable views and sites, while appendices and reports synthesize species distributions and practical findings from the journeys.
