THE KANCHUNG-GANGRI.

307 smaller peak near Pasa-guk; N.W. some moderate ridges are seen; N. 25° W, and N. 16° W. are some snowy peaks and between them a ridge with some snow on the southern slopes; they belong to the Kanchung-gangri; N.N.W. is Basang,

touched by the third crossing. To the N. 29° E., N. 37° E. and N. 43° E. are

the three highest peaks of the Chomo-uchong; from the first of these two glaciers go N.W. ; N. 77° E. is a smaller peak. The view from Gya-la is curious; on all sides one is surrounded by a heavy sea of ridges and ranges, only here and there covered with snow.

From Gya-la the road descends to the plain, crossing a brook from E.S.E. with half a cubic m of water, the same which, lower down joins the Kanglung-bupchu under the name of Yara. Near the western foot of Chomo-uchong there are many great erratic blocks of hard, green schist. Camp 396 on the Kanglung-bupchu is at 4 780 m; it is close S.E. from Camp. 166, Basang. A little higher up the road enters the valley Lamlung between rocks of dark, green schist. The ascent to the pass Lamlung-la is rather steep; round this pass conglomerate stands in living rock. The magnificent massive of the Chomo-uchong is again visible, with its culminating peaks and several other summits, one of which, in the middle of the group, is a regular cone and everywhere covered with eternal snow. Small glaciers, short and steep, go down from the neve'es. In connection with the fifth crossing we shall find it easier to distinguish the orographical situation and importance of Chomo-uchong. To the N.N.W. a part of the Kanchung-gangri may be seen; the range was here called Känchung and Kämchung; one informant said KänchungKanchung-gangri. To the north the Transhimalayan system looks surprisingly low, and no high snow summits are to be seen. The whole is, as usual, a confusion of innumerable ridges and ranges.

On the north side of the Lamlung-la the road for some distance keeps to the heights before it reaches the upper parts of tributaries, bound to the Kanglung-bup-chu. A ridge between two tributaries has to be crossed in a low pass, before reaching the valley Nämchen, where Camp 397 is at a height of 4 982 m. The district is called Kebuk. A direct road goes from here to Saka-dsong, crossing a comparatively high pass, Dorang-la or Dorang-tagla-shar, which is situated in the same range as Lamlung-la. This range must be a connecting link between the Lunpo-gangri and Chomo-uchong.

The Nämchen brook goes out into a broad open valley west-east in direction, joining the Kanglung-bup-chu; on its northern side the road proceeds to Telepla, 4 974 m, which is only a very flat and low secondary threshold in sandstone; the neighbouring Gara-la is a little higher or 5 053 m. Camp J98, Tangma-ni, is at 4 922 m.

From Tangma-ni my road goes N.N.E. up through the valley which pierces sandstone and has a very disagreeable bottom, rotten ice, gravel, tussock-grass and rabbit-holes. Kyungtsang is a tributary from the right side, through which a direct road continues up to Camp 399. The guides, however, preferred a roundabout way
