said to be used every year for that purpose along the road we now had reached. The small parallel paths of the road are trodden and worn by these sheep which are accustomed to walking in flocks besides one another.
Camp LX VII was pitched at a very shallow erosion bed with ice-sheets, but no water. The name of the place was given as Chuj5cha-karmo-lungßa, which sounds very much like the Chipcha-karmo of Camp LX V. According to our new Tibetan guides we should now be 9 days from Bogisang-tsangpo, though, as I have said before, the distance proved to take more time for our tired caravan. The 9 days were marked by the following names, which only partly agree with those given before. 1. Kebe-chungu, 2. Goro-lebre (or Garo), 3. Mukj50-tamchuk, which may be identical with Mukko-malting-, 4. Shapiuk-rinak, a low black mountain range, 5. Ribge, a mountain in the neighbourhood of which there is a higher mountain called Mayo-bendeme, 6. Niring-tsangj5o, a river with a mount Mogha gangri in its vicinity, 7. Rungtsang-kema, a place from which and onwards nomads are met with nearly everywhere, 8. Chuclie-monda, 9. Boglsang-tsangj5o. Some of these names could not be identified on our march, and we were in some cases not able to tell whether the first or the second nomads were right. On the map, I have only entered those names that seem to be beyond dispute, though, of course, there is no absolute certainty that all of them are placed at their right places. I, however, enter here in the text both versions in the hope that the day will come when the uncertain points will be cleared up. Our Tibetans could not tell how far from the source and the mouth of Boglsang-lsangj5o the point was situated at which we would reach the river when following the above-mentioned road, they even had not heard that the river flows out into a salt-water lake. If travelling without their flocks of sheep, they reckoned only 6 days to the river. A long way to the S. E. was situated a mountain called Dongshung-momo-sondama in the vicinity of which were said to be the headquarters of Naklsong. One of our guides had once travelled to Amdo, touching Ribge, Mogha-gangri, Skyang-tarna-lombo, 7angcha, a high mountain, Nam-tso, Dam-la and Tong-la. On the way back he had taken a more northerly road, but remembered only the following places: Chomore, Ibuk-tsaka,
Tsontsa-gangri, Lashung, Gonw, Yung-mamo-tsatsa, Kugi-kema and Ngembadungtsa, a road that cannot be identified, though some of the places we had passed are mentioned as being situated on it. If travelling from Chuftcha-karmo-lungj5a or our Camp LX VII to their homes in Gertse, our Tibetans used to camp at the following places: 1. Ngemba-liga, 2. Kangro-lene, 3. Marcham-Iso, a lake, 4. Dug- ji tsa, a lake, 5. Garang-onyo, 6. Rang-ombo, a mountain, 7. Kej5o, 8. Tsa-mirang, a high mountain, 9. Taje-tso, I o. Sindo-rinak, a high mountain, I I . Lema-karmo, 12. Kunge-coma, a lake, 13. Do-ngombo, 14. Chungmo-rene with the lake Dung-iso in its vicinity, 15. Ama-rolva which is situated quite close to Gertse.
