370 ALONG THE UPPER TSANGPO TO THE MANASAROVAR.
island Lache-to. To the N. 44° E. is the Pundi. A sketch of the Gurla-mandata was drawn from the S. E. shore of the island Lache-to, Pan. 3 12, Tab. 57.
Pan. 308, Tab. 56, is drawn from a point between Camp CCXXVII and Camp CCXXVIII, showing the same lake in another perspective. From N. 47° W. to N. 15° W. the island Dopserma seems to be situated, though it was always difficult to determine its outlines from those of the hills behind. Here the Kailas rises to the N. 6° E., just in the prolongation of the »neck of the bottle». Lache-to is visible to the N. 45°-54° E. and N. 59° E. is the projecting cape south of it. Pan. 313, Fab. 57, is a little sketch to the E. S. E. from Camp CCXX VIII.
According to my observations, Khaleb, Camp CCXXX, has an absolute height of 4,629 m., and is 14.2 km. from the northern shore of the Rakas-tal. The rise is, therefore, 4o m. or as 1:355, which proves how very flat the plain is north of the lake. Parka is at an altitude of 4,601 m. and 5.7 km. from the lake. The rise is here 12 m. or as 1:475.
From Khaleb, Pan. 3I5A and B, Tab. 57, was drawn, showing the range of which Kailas is the culminating point. The Sacred Mount is seen to the N. 34° E., and the sketch should be compared with the frontispiece photograph of Vol. I, p. XVIII. To the S. 79° E. is the Pundi, which indeed seems to belong to the same range as the Kailas. S. 17° E. and S. I I° E. are the two highest peaks of the Gurla-mandata. Nothing is seen of the lake.
Finally I have only to call attention to the two panoramas, 310 and 311, Tab. 56, the first being a view down and south-westwards in the valley of the old Satlej, and the second a view to the east in the old bed of the river. Both are taken from the termination of the excursion from Khaleb, September 6th, 1907.
