THE CHOMO-UCHONG. 353
N. 48° W. the Kichen-talung-changri is again in sight. To the N. N. E. is the range Lombo and to the N. E. Tsopti.
The march of May 23rd, took us through a complicated region. First we had 3.4 km. S. W. to Kiclrung-la, 5,504 m. high, a rise of 306 m. at a rate of i : I I . Then we had 3 km. undulated high-alpine ground, descending to a brook, ascending to a second pass of 5,480 m., and then up to a third pass, Kafzglung -la, of 5,528 m. Finally 3 km. W. N. W. to Camp CLXIV, Lungle, which is at 5,25i m. or 277 m. lower, a rate of fall as I :10.8. A series of small panoramas were drawn. Pan. 203, Tab. 37, is from Kiclzung-la to the E. N. E. and east over a hopeless labyrinth of mountains more like a stormy sea. From the same pass a more elaborate panorama, 204, Tab. 37, embraces the whole group of Chomo-uchong with culminating peaks to the S. 34° W., S. 55° W., S. 75° W., S. 86° W., N. 87° W. It should be compared with a photo on the opposite page. Pan. 201, Tab. 37, is taken from the second pass, looking back to the Kichung--la S. 87° E., S. E. and S. S. E. Pan. 199, Tab. 36, is from Kanglung-la with, to the N. 6o° W., the valley down to Lungla amongst waves of mountains. Finally Pan. 200, Tab. 36, taken from Camp Lungle, shows to the S. S. W. and S. W. some of the high peaks of Chomo-uchong, and to the N. 61° W. the Rongchen valley going down. I think it is no exaggeration to say that these panoramas tell a good deal more than the map, or rather, that the map is a lifeless record if it is not assisted by these landscape views.
On May 241h, we go down 14.5 km. W. N. W. and S. S. W. to Camp CLXV, Pang-satak, with an altitude of 4,916 m. The fall is 335 m. and the rate 1:43.3. The next day's march was 7 km. in length to Camp CLXVI, Basang, where the height was 4,796 m. The fall is 120 m., the rate 1:58, and the direction S. W. Pan. 208, Tab. 38, is taken from Basang. Its most interesting part is Mount Lumbo-taktsen, which is a part of Chomo-uchong.
On May 27th, the march goes S. S. W. in a nearly straight line crossing the Sa-chu which is a left tributary to the Clzaktak - tsangpo, and ascending the Gyäbuk-la, 4,823 m. high. The distance to the pass being 8.9 km. , and the rise only 27 m., the rate is 1 :329. On the southern side we had 6.8 km. to Camp CLXVII, Kyärkyä, 4,575 m. high, or a descent of 2 48 m. at a rate of 1 : 2 7.4. Pan. 2 o6, Tab. 37, from Gyäbuk-la, shows the mountains to the north and south, and in the middle, a new aspect of the Chomo-uchong with three pyramidal peaks, viz., N. 45° E. the Lumbo-taktsen, N. 5 5° E. the Tsummo, and N. 6o° E. the Chomo-uchong proper.
The last march, May 2 8th, is 10.8 km. south and west, first going down the Kyärkyä valley and then ascending along the northern bank of the great Tsangpo to the confluence of the Chaktak-tsangpo, at Camp CLXVIII. From a slope close upon the latter camp, Pan. 207, Tab. 37, was sketched showing the appearance of the mountains around the confluence of the two rivers. To the S. 61° E. the great
