THE REGION WEST OF SHA-KANGSHAM.
To the S. E. and south, is the range we would have to cross the next day in Sangchen-la. The river bed we had followed during the day's march, certainly came from the valley opening out from the east, and partly visible to the S. 82° E. on the panorama. This river, which had been called Sangchen gi chu by some nomads and Sangchen-di-chu by others, is certainly fed by the peaks with eternal snow situated south of Sha-kangsham, and visible to the N. 88° E. and east on the panorama. This river would thus play the same hydrograpliical part as the Kangsham-Isangßo, though it is much smaller than it. In how far it is a tributary of the latter or flows to another self-contained basin, is, as yet, unknown. So much is sure, that the part of Tibet where we were now travelling from north to south, is, on the whole, sloping to the west as is proved both by the direction of the river courses and by the fact that we have high mountains with eternal snow to the east, and low depressions, such as Lakor Iso, to the west.
March 251k, was given up to rest. The minimum temperature was down at —17.8'; the S. W. wind was fresh but not strong. At noon nearly half the sky was overclouded; the evening was clear. Three tents were found, each in a little valley south of the camp.
