day with the violence of a storm and the sky was overclouded. Of the landscape, only the nearest mountains were visible.
On February 29th, we had a march of T1.7 km. S. E. On this section the ground descended i 26 m. or to 4,633 m., being a rate of i : 93. Thus at least it became clearly visible that we had crossed a flat threshold, and were now descending towards the centre of a new depression. The minimum temperature had been at only —15.5°, for the night had been cloudy, and it had snowed. About half the area of the even ground was white, the hills nearly completely. In the morning, we had a fresh S. E. wind, which after 9 o'clock a. m., went over to S. W. and at noon had grown to one of the severest storms we had experienced so far. The clouds swept quite along the ground, and were, as a rule, very low. Only occasionally, the surroundings came in sight.
After we had passed the opening between low hills, it became quite evident that the country sloped to the S. E. To the left or N. E., we have the range seperating our valley from the old one. To the south at a greater distance, are higher mountains. Between our route and these southern mountains, a depression seems to be situated, containing what seemed to be a lake, though it may have been an optical illusion caused by the clouds. We continue S. E. towards the eastern prolongation of this depression where two small lakes, or rather pools, are situated. A large herd of Pantholoj5s antelopes and a lonely kyang fled as we approached. To our left a flock of about i oo sheep with two shepherds, appeared. Near the shore a man was driving 6 yaks loaded with ice to a tent in the neighbourhood. Crossing two old deformed beach-lines, we reached the N. W. shore of the eastern lake, which was called Lumbur-rigmo. It was all frozen over except a few places where springs came up. The grass in this region was not so good as hitherto. Fuel was scanty. The nomads living here were 9 persons from Gertse; they had 2 00 sheep and some yaks and seemed to be poor. A few kilometers eastwards, were two tents from Senkor. The i oo sheep we had first seen, belonged to them and had only arrived to drink from the little lake. Otherwise, the road to the east was regarded as unfavourable; no tents would be found, and the grass was bad. To the S. E. we would have two days to the little lake, Yakrung=tso, »The lake of the yak valley», in the surroundings of which were several tents. The latter, however, were difficult to find, for they, as a rule, were hidden in small valleys and rarely pitched on the open plains. The nomads of Lumbur-ribmo were also hunters, as could be seen from their guns, knives and skins, and flesh of five Pantholoj5s antelopes. As soon as the spring gets warm, they travel five days westwards to the region of Sogbarong where they pass the summer. In the autumn they again return to Lumbur-rigmo. Usually only half of the household is wandering to these part of the Chang-tang, taking with them most of their sheep, goats and yaks, whilst the other half remains at
