In this list there are consequently included twenty-six parallel mountain-ranges crossing the Tibetan highlands from east to west between 86° and 92° E. long. To these we may unquestionably add four more in the south before we reach the regions that belong to the peripheral parts of the country and that drain down into the ocean. The immense Tibetan upswelling has thus in this section been crumpled into some thirty folds, to say nothing of all the quite short minor parallel ranges that lie intercalated between the big ones. Ranges of this character are particularly numerous in the latitudinal valley which contains the Selling-tso lakes, and they were equally
