THE VALLEY OF THE UPPER TSANGPO.   361

The next day's journey consists simply in a crossing of the river to the N. N. E. Camp CLXXXIX, Dongbo, had an observed altitude of 4,598 m. The distance is not quite 5 km., and the rise of 15 km. is due to the camp being placed on a little sandy hill. Pan. 247A and B, Tab. 45, is taken from there. To the S. 28° E. and S. W. some comparatively high Himalaya peaks are in sight. Teriyong is a peak in the neighbourhood to the north. To the east the name Tirok appears again.

On lune 30th, we marched 22.7 km. N. W. to Camp CXC, Tuksum, at an altitude of 4,596 m., or a rise of 13 m. from the river at Camp CLXXXIX which must be regarded as practically the same altitude as Camp CLXXXVIII, or 4,583 m. The rate is, therefore, 1 : 1746. The panorama from Tuksum, 248A and B, Tab. 45, goes round the whole horizon representing the northern mountains at a short distance, the southern far away. Amongst the latter are several peaks covered with eternal snow, for instance, the massif Kakju, or Kakjy, the highest part of which is at S. 6o° W. To the N. 71° W. the country is low and open, being the broad valley of the Tsangpo.

On .7nly 2nd, we had a march of 9.6 km. W. N. W. to Camp CXCI, 4,608 m. high, or a rise of 12 m., at a rate of 1 : 800. Pan. 250A and B, Tab. 45, gives an idea of the landscape around the river at this place. At p. 326, Vol. II, there are two photos from this camp.

The next day, 7uly 3rd, we had 15.7 km. W. S. W. on nearly level ground to Camp CXCII, Yüri, with an altitude of 4,615 m., a rise of 7 m. and a rate of 1:2243. Pan. 249A and B, Tab. 45, is drawn from Yüri, showing flat hills in the neighbourhood, and a few higher peaks at greater distance.

The road to the next camp, Camp CXCIII, Nangi, at an altitude of 4,627 m., goes over nearly level ground, the rise in 32.3 km. W. N. W. being only 12 m. or as I :2692. Pan. 2 5 2A and B, Tab. 46, comes from Nangi. The surrounding mountains are rather low and flat, and the country to the N. W. very open.

On 7uly 5th, we made 13.3 km. nearly north to Camp CXCIV, Gyang-chukamar, where the height is 4,661 m., or 34 m. above the previous camp, a rise of I :391. Pan. 2 5 3A and B, Tab. 46, is taken from the new camp. To the S. 64° E. it shows Mount Churi, which was visible to the N. 58° E. on Pan. 2 5 2A, Tab. 46, from Nangi. To the south and S. W. it unrolls a perspective of more considerable mountains with pyramidal snowy peaks. To the N. W. the country is open as usual.

On 7uly 6th, the beginning and the end of the march are nearly at the same altitude, for we started from 4,66i m. and camped at 4,657 m. The distance to Camp CXCV, Chärok, being 19.3 km., and the fall 4 m., the rate is 1:4825 or practically level. From the little threshold on the road, Rubi-la, 4,67 5 m. high, Pan. 251, Tab. 45, was sketched, showing, once more, Mount Kakju to the S. 2 7° W., the same that, on Pan. 248A, Tab. 45, was visible to the S. 6o° W. The landscape represented
