more rounded. In the opening between two prismatic mountain ridges, the Kailas again gives a brilliant spectacle to the south (Pan. 318, Tab. 57).1
A moment later we reach Diri -u-gomma with a gigantic granite block in front of it, and the holy formula engraved on the surface of the latter (cp. drawing p. 152, Vol. II). Here, at Camp CCXXXI, the altitude is 5,091 m. The blocks laying about everywhere in the region consist of granite (quartz-biotite-diorite).
The next day's march on September 4th, took us 17.5 km. S. E., E. S. E., S. E. and finally S. S. W., around the northern and eastern parts of the Kailas massif. From Diri j5u-gomfta we had only 1.3 km. S. E. to the pass Dolma-la, one of the highest we had to cross on the whole journey in Tibet, being 5,669 m. high or 578 m. above Camp CCXXXI. The rise is, therefore, if taken on a direct line, enormous, or as I : 2.25 , which was the sharpest gradient I ever had. One had to ascend 1 m. for every 2 4 m. of road. As such a slope is too hard for riding animals, one has to take the ascent of the pass in zigzags. On the southern side of the pass we had 16.2 km. to Camp CCXXXII, Tsumtul ju g-om fta where the altitude is 4,863 m. being a descent of 8o6 m. and a fall of I:20.1.
The lamas of Diri j5u-gomfta gave me some information about the source or the Indus which I, a few days later, had an opportunity to check. When I asked in what direction the source was, they pointed to the N. 40° E. The valley of Diri pu, which farther west joins the Dunglung and the Chamo-lungchen, they called Ham-chuchen. There was said to be a road up in the Dunglung valley leading in one day to Dunglung-la, and thence in two days to the Singto-dokkas or nomads of Singtod on both sides of the uppermost Indus. Komcham-chu is the name of the little valley by which the Kailas is visible to the south as on Pan. 318, Tab. 57. Pilgrims wandering around the Kang-rinjoche are allowed to get shelter for the nights in the monasteries around the mountain, and they do not need to pay
anything.
Leaving the Tsai valley with the road to the left, and crossing its brook of about 1 cub. m. per stone and wood, we began, immediately from its left heights of Dolma-la. Then we have to our right or Ham-chuchen which, in spite of its being a tributary, the main river. But it comes from the ice and snows

group has no water-parting importance, as all the brooks coming from it belong to the Satlej System. The water-parting between the Indus and the Salle] is situated north of the Kailas on the Tseli-lachen-la, 5,466 m. high. The Kailas, therefore,
