To:
unknown addressee
Date:

Source of text:
JDH/1/10 f.180, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH discusses Bhotea [Bhotia] tribes of the Himalaya who inhabit the Cachan, above the villages of the Limbos & Ghorkas [Gorkhas] in Nepal, & Haioos[?], Murims[?] & Lepchas in Sikkim. He translates some Bhotia words. The Bhotias carry on the salt trade with Tibet. The Bhotias or Bhootan people of Bhotea as opposed to the cis-nivean regions are a different tribe, their own name for Bhootan [Bhutan] is 'Lhop' or 'Country of the Dhurmah Rajah'. Hooker likes the Bhotias but the Bhutan people have a very bad reputation. All the above as well as Tibetans & Chinese in the region & people of Little Bucharia & Soongaria are Buddhists who practice Lamaism. Contains a hand drawn map of the Sikkim-Darjeeling area.
