SURROUNDINGS OF SHIGATSE.

hidden by the village. To the N. 88° E. we see the opening of the gigantic valley, the direction in which the Upper Brahmaputra continues its way to the east, between

the Transhimalaya and the Himalaya. To the N. j2° E. is a top, Meshung-chang-ri, situated quite near the village. To the N. E. is Mount Sasang and the valley Yang-yu. To the S. E. are the mountain regions Gyangtse ju and Chohuk, and to the south the ridge Seduru. The sketch shows in its middle a slight indication of the great winding river, and, in the foreground, the erosion terrace, and, on the top of it, one of the houses of Tana.

From Shigatse two panoramas were taken, one, Pan I 50A, B and c, Tab. 27, from a point just west of the little town, the other from the foot of Shigatse-dsong. The first shows a ring of mountains, the nearest of which are those to the N. 7 5° E. and west. To the S. S. E. there is an interruption, not visible on the panorama, for the Gyangtse River and the road to Gyangtse. To the S. 37° W. the country is comparatively open, and here the road goes to the famous monastery of Sakya. S. 70° W. the great monastery of Tashi-lunpo is visible at the southern base of the range situated west of Shigatse. To the N. 6o° and 50° W. Shigatse-dsong is seen on its isolated hill. To the N. N. W., north and N. N. E. I have slightly indicated the houses of the town, between which and the hills in the background the Gyangtse River flows down to the Tsangpo. Pan. 152, Tab. 27, represents only a part of the same view as seen from the base of the dsong hill. The nearest mount, to the N. 87° E. is the same as the one to the N. 75° E. on Pan. 150, and by a comparison between the two all the details may easily be checked.

Pan. I 5 I A and B, Tab. 27, is a view from Camp CXX1X, Sadung. In the background of some houses of the village it shows the last ramifications from the Transhimalayan hills to the N. W., and to the N. N. W. the opening of the valley of Dongka -u. Eastwards is the great valley of the Tsangpo, which here seems gradually to become more and more narrow towards the east. To the S. E. opens the valley of the Gyangtse River with the road to Shigatse.

Pan. 149, Tab. 2 7, is only a small sketch drawn from Camp CXXXII, Kuru, just below the plain of Ye. It represents the Tsangpo valley from the S. 70° E. to the south, where a tributary valley comes out.

Pan. I 54A and B, Tab. 28, taken from Camp CXXXIV, Pusum, on April 3rd,

1907, embraces three quarters of the horizon. The N. W. quadrant is missing for here a hill in our immediate vicinity hides the view. The panorama is interesting as it shows the Tsangpo valley both to the east and west, and also how narrow it is in the region of Pusum if compared with the broad, open plain south of Ye. To the north the Ngolung valley comes down. To the E. N. E. is the little village Pusum. To the E. S. E. the winding course of the great river is seen between the Transhimalayan and Himalayan Mountains. To the south is the Ponda valley,
