DEPTH AND TEMPERATURE OF THE SACRED LAKE. 165
the comparative shallowness of the lake in this part, where the plain south of Pundi
very slowly continues under the surface of the lake. And still the depth at the
end point of the eastern one of these two lines, or 47m., is nearly the same as the
absolute maximum I found in Panggong-tso, a lake, that one would have expected
to be much deeper as situated like a grave between gigantic and very steep
mountains.
The two following tables may give an idea of the rate at which the tem-
perature of the water at the bottom sinks, together with the depth:
