CHAPTER XII.
THE SHUI-TAO-TI-KANG ON THE SOURCE OF THE
BRAHMAPUTRA AND THE SATLEJ.
In the Shui-tao-ti-kang or Outlines of Hya'rograahy, Book 22nd, compiled by CHI CHAO NAN in the 26th year of Emperor CHIEN LUNG (i 762 A. D.), we find the following description of the source of the Brahmaputra, which was translated for me by Professor OGAWA during my stay at Kyoto.' Under the heading: » Waters of Hsi-tsang» or Tibet, the author says:
»The Ya-lu-ts'ang pu-chiang is the Ta-chin-sha-chiang (= Great Gold Sand River). It is supposed by some geographers to be the Pa-pu-chuan of olden times.

[The north-western part of the mountain is near the source of the Lake
Ma -iu-mu-ta-la 4 in the Lang-ch'ien-k'a pu ja-shan. 5 This mountain (Ta-mu-
chuk-k'a j5a j5u-shan) is situated 300 li S.E. of Kang-/i-ssie-shan (Kailas Mountain). The mountain is very high and great, and its form resembles a horse, whence it is named. The source of the Ya-lu-tang j5u-chiang 6 is J5° W. (of Peking) and (the altitude of the north) Pole 29°.] 7 There are three sources, all of which flow north-eastwards and unite into one river. The river flows at first turning eastwards, then south-eastwards for more than 200 li. A stream of fore mountains of Ku-mukang comes from S.W. to meet the river. The river now turning to the northeast for i oo li, receives the Chiang-chia-su-mu-la-ho which flows south-eastwards from
