THE RAKAS-TAL. 369
To the S. E. a little part of the Manasarovar is in sight at the base of the hills which rise rather steeply towards the culmination points of the Gurla-mandata, the highest peaks of which are seen to the S. 7° E. and S. 5° W. To the S. W. far away are again the crests of the mountains in Purang. To the S. 75° W. is the island of Lache-to which I visited later on. S. 80° W. and S. 88° W. are two islands, both, or at least one, called Dopserina. To the N. 64° W. a long, narrow and low promontory projects into the lake in the same direction as the pyramidal peak Tsepge-ri. The northern part of the lake is hidden by the hills of the neck of land between the lakes.
A few hundred metres north of Camp CCXXIV at the N. W. shore of the lake I sketched Pan. 301A, B and c, Tab. 55. To the west and W. N. W. it shows considerable hills on the west shore of the lake, and to about the N. 18° W. the place at which in older times the Satlej left the Rakas-tal. To the N. 13° E. is the Kailas partly hidden by clouds. To the N. 77° E. Mount Pundi is still in sight, and S. 75° E. is the low passage where the 1Vg-ang-g-a takes its course. The mountain rising in the same direction is situated at the eastern shore of the Manasarovar, and has already been found on Pan. 298, Tab. 54, to the S. 774° E. from Chiugompa. A little farther to the right at about the S. 60° E. the mountains on the neck of land between the lakes conceal the eastern shore of the Manasarovar. S. 17° E. marks the place where the Rakas-tal is narrow and resembles the neck of a bottle. The Gurla-mandala is hidden by clouds, only its western slopes being seen to the S. 4° E. To the S. 52° E. Camp CCXXV is entered. I could take its bearings from the smoke of the campfire of my men preparing the camp during my trip across the lake.
Pan. 309, Tab. 56, is taken from Camp CCXXIV. Its object is chiefly to show the beach-lines of the Rakas-tal, proving that the lake, in the present period, is gradually sinking, which again is the reason of the cutting off of the Satlej.
From a cape 4.5 km. S. 1o° W. of Camp CCXXV on the eastern shore of the narrow part of the Rakas-tal, Pan.- 3o5, Tab. 56, was drawn. To the S. 3o° W. it shows the southern cape of the peninsula north of Dopserma. To the S. 6o° W. is the point of the above-mentioned promontory from the western shore.
Pan. 306, Tab. 56, is taken from Camp CCXXVI. It is a view of the southern part of the lake, but promontories and islands melt together with the mountains behind. To the N. 55° W. is a considerable mountain on the western shore, and to the N. 32° W. is the entrance to the narrow passage of the lake enclosed to the east by the neck of land between the lakes.
On Pan. 307A and B, Tab. 56, from Camp CCXXVII, we get a view of the mountains on the western shore, and those to the north of the entrance to the narrow passage. To the N. 4° E. is the Kailas and between N. 14° E. and N. 2 9° E. the
47. IV.
