STOP 10-E.PAKISTAN
JAINTIAPUR, 5M,
IX-30-61
40 specimens.

Short stop in the heart of
this small village not far
from the sudden escarpment
of the Khasi Hills. Hot,
humid midday. Butterflies
and more were collected on
hybiscus flowers in gardens:
carpenter bees were taken
around the wood of village
roofs. The little farm is
situated in a very flat area
which becomes quite boggy during
the heaviest part of the monsoon.
The monsoon is on its way
out by early October, however,
and the rice is thriving at this time.
[THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES WRITTEN THEN CROSSED OUT:
around the wood of the village
houses. 40 specimens.]
