Description
NOTE 1: »Pass of the Devil« (WADDELL 1899a: 426) is not identified. NOTE 2: »Nego« (WADDELL 1899a: 426) is not identified: It is neither marked on the Central Service map sheets no 1 Taplechung or no. 2 Panchthar (1989 editions) or on the India Road Atlas (Eicher Goodearth 2006: 26 C4) nor listed on nima.mil/geonames/nepal (accessed 16.11.2003), nima.mil/geonames/india (accessed 16.11.2003), IMPERIAL GAZETTEER (1907-1909, 25: 407) or in the India Road Atlas (Eicher Goodearth 2006 index).
Having re-crossed a certain »Pass of the Devil« (note 1) and »threading the track down the lower slopes on the Nepalese side of the [Singalila] ridge« through rhododendrons, WADDELL (1899a: 426) »… spent a night in the shallow cave of Nego [note 2] (13,170 ft.). It was little more than an overhanging ledge of rock, and could have afforded scant shelter from rain.«
