3I4 THE FOURTH CROSSING.
4 or 5 tents with flocks, and south of Teta-la 3 tents. On the shore of Teri-nam- O tso two tents and flocks.
The usual difficulties in determining the administrative boundaries are en-
countered on this line of crossing, too. Bongba-changrang is the district of Bongba which is north of Sangmo-bertik-la, S.W. and S.S.W. of Chokchu and east of Kebyang.
All the way to Sangmo-bertik-la the tribute is said to be paid to Saka-dsong, but
north of the pass to Bongba-changrang. Camps 405, 406 and 407 are said to be within the district Bongba-chushar, which has to the west Bongba-changrang, to the
north Soma-tima and to the east Soma-lobruk; north of Soma-tima is Chokchu,
which, like the whole of Bongba, is under the direct jurisdiction of Devashung in Lhasa. Further east is Targo-largyap-changma.' The district of Bongba-chushar is
subdivided into many small districts, as Deva-hloma, Deva-kibuk with Camp 407, Deva-changma, Deva-doma, and Deva-tesa; the word deva is said to mean direct
dependence on Devashung. The region round Camp 410 at the southern shore of Teri-nam-tso is called Sangye-ngama-buk. It is a part of the Lavang district which is said to belong to the Saka-dsong province. Nyaga-changma is north of Tseti-la and west of Camp 41o. North and N.E. of Teri-nam-tso and stretching eastwards to
Dangra-yum-tso is Chokchu, a district with a chief but no governor. The following districts north of Sangmo-bertik-la are reported as paying their tribute to Saka-dsong: Chang-rang, Chushar, Sangye-ngama-buk, Chugtso, all being under the Devashung; and Soyung or Soma-yung, Sotib or Soma-tima, Sochang or Soma-changma, Targo-
largyap-changma, Patö, Targo-largyap-hloma, Rusar, Hlorbu and Chechen, all be-
longing to Labrang or Tashi-lunpo. The tribute, which is said to amount to 7 000 tenga in all, is collected by officials from Saka-dsong; most of the tax is paid in
natura. During my visit to Kangmar some 5o nomads had gathered there to pay their taxes to the collectors from Saka-dsong. Much of the information given by the nomads about the administration is unreliable. Thus for instance one informant affirmed that Sangye-ngama-buk paid its tribute to Naktsang, though otherwise it belonged to Saka-dsong.
The serj5un-lam or gold-inspectors' road goes from Lhasa to Dölung, Guringla, Shansa-dsong, between Targo-gangri and Dangra-yum-tso, through southern Chokchu, and further westwards as will be related hereafter.
On the eastern shore of Lapchung-tso there is an important road, as is best seen just along the shore, where at least fifty pathways, trodden by innumerable sheep,
run parallel to each other; for the eastern hills force the caravans to keep to the shore; further north, on the open plain this road seems to disappear, for here every caravan takes its own path. This great road is said to come from Tsongka-dsong and proceed to Bongba-changrang and Chokchu ; not far from Lapchung-tso it divides into 5 branches going to 5 different passes in the N.W. and north.
