of their flocks. In the Kartsak valley I tent was seen and in Kyangyang 5 tents, though several others were hidden in neighbouring valleys. At Lavar-demar some I2 tents were pitched. The nomads round Camp 444 at Lavar-tsangpo were said to go to Yumba-matsen in summer. No fewer than 150 tents were said to belong to the district of Rundor. At Takche were pitched 26 tents: about 20 tents in a valley below Camp 449 were just breaking up. At upper Tokchen we counted 16 tents.
From Selipuk there is a road of 3 days' lenght over the Sige-la to Yumbamatsen, from where another 3 days lead to Gerke ; farther east this road continues to a hot spring called Chu-tua, and finally, as far as informant knew, to a place called Chumik-ba.
As usual it is difficult to get information from the nomads concerning the administrative boundaries. Camp 439, on the Sumdang-tsangpo, is in Rundorchangma, and Camp 444 on the Lavar-tsangpo is still in Rundor, but the nomads of this district are said to pay pasture-tribute to Yumba-matsen. South of Ding-la is the district Hor-pangri, south of which follow Hor-paryang and Hor.
