STOP 99 - WEST PAK.: RAWAT
XII-23-61 600 meters

Rawat, a mud-walled vilage on the Grand Trunk road between Rawalpindi and Sohawa, is the sight of Rawat Fort, an old stone ruin consisting of a large tomb (MAQBRA'S ?) and the graves of warriors. The fort dates back to the mid fifteen hundreds. The specimens were collected under stones around the fort itself. The surroounding area was fairly dry and entirely disturbed by agriculture. The immediate vegetation included a ground cover of small grasses and a few thorny trees (Leguminosae). Ground moist or slightly so. 200 specimens.

STOP 101 - NEW DELHI, INDIA
XII-30-61 260 meters

The ARAVALLI RANGE, an ancient axis of hills now [a word blackened out] heavily eroded remnants of a once much larger range, extends its northernmost finger directly into the city of New Delhi and is known there as DELHI RIDGE. The vegetation is of course heavily disturbed by man, but scattered thorny bushes and some grass and weeds have escaped the axe and the ox. Specimens were collected under stones in a region of the gentle ridge not far from Palam Airport. Ground dry or slightly moist.
150 specimens
