THE TRANSHIMALAYA ON D'ANVILLE'S MAP.   31

on d'Anville's map, in their relation to Lop-nor, points to the fact that it is the real, ancient, Chinese Lop-nor that has been entered on the map and not the recent lake, Kara-koshun which was discovered by PRSHEVALSKIY. Thus we here arrive at the same result as when we were discussing Renat's map, which is not surprising remembering that the latter was also derived from Chinese sources. As to the other tributaries Renat has at least three reaching the Tarim amongst them Khotan- and Keriya-darya. In this respect the two maps are therefore not in harmony with each other, and no conclusion can be drawn as to whether d'Anville's map indicates a dry period of climate. Very likely periodical changes of climate exist in Eastern Turkestan, though not so strong as in the region of the Manasarovar.

But to return to Southern Tibet we find that the river systems and lakes are very nearly the same as on the Ta-ch'ing map, which we are going to consider later on in connection with Dutreuil de Rhins' views. Both are founded on the same original survey, — of Rang Hi's Lamas.

Regarding the Central Transhimalayan mountain ranges on d'Anville's map most of them stretch from the N.E. to the S.W., whereas the real direction is usually

5   from the N.W. to the S.E. When a range, like Targo-gangri is in reality meridional,

beyond doubt. Amongst them we already know Kentaisse M., Lantchia kepou M., and Tamtchou M. Larkin M. is at the same place as Nain Sing's Dam-largen-la. Samia M. must be Samye-la, Yala M. may be my Yor-la, and Soureng M. could

I bei   be my Surnge-la if it were not so far to the east. Lop M. is probably Lapchung,

Pancla M. may be my Pabla or Pab-la, Tarcou MM. is certainly Targo-Gangri, e Coiran MM. and Tchimouran I are the names given to the culminating range, Nien,;,( chen-tang-la. Samta Kemsa M. is Samdan Kangjang. It cannot be said that

regarding the country north of the Tsangpo general uncertainty predominates,

.i   for all is certainly wrong. Only round the edges of the region are there com-

paratively good pieces. On the northern edge there is only one such point:

Tarok-tso and Tabie-tsaka; on the eastern Tengri-nor, Nien-chen-tang-la and Ki-chu

as well as Lhasa with its surroundings. On the south the whole general course of the Tsangpo to the E.S.E. is not bad and all the northern tributaries have been observed, more or less wrong. The best parts are on the western edge, the sources of the Brahmaputra or Tsangpo, which I have proved to be correct. Directing our attention to the northern bank of the Tsangpo, we find only at two places mountain ranges running parallel with the river and near to it. The first is the range west of the entrance of the Tsa-chu, and the second is the one situated east

of the entrance of the Chaktak-tsangpo. Both exist in reality. For the section

east and west of Shigatse d'Anville has no ranges parallel with the river. The

it becomes west to east on d'Anville's map. A few names may be identified

I The name is written Tchimourtan on d'Anville's large scale map in du Halde.
