FROM CHUNIT-TSO TO USHÜ.

impression of the Lunkar Range, and shows that it has a bastion of rounded hills and ramifications at its N. E. base. At some places high snow-covered peaks rise above these hills, and to the N. W. we see its slopes and ramifications in a foreshortened perspective. To the S. 20° E. we catch a first glimpse of one of the highest peaks of the Lunpo-gang'ri, or Lombo-kangra as we heard it called, from the south.

Following the Buptsang-tsango upwards, on April 8th, 13.9 km. S. S. E. to Camp CCCLXXVI, Amchung, we ascend only 13 m. or to 4,835 m., the rate thus being I :1,069 only. Pan. 455, Tab. 85, shows a new aspect of the Lunkar Range with some of its mighty snow-covered peaks, and to the S. S. E., our further way up to the continental water-parting.

The 9.6 km., covered on April 9M, take us S. S. E. to Camp CCCLXXVII, where the height is 4,883 m ., a rise of 48 m. and a rate of 1:200. From the new camp a new panorama, 456, Tab. 85, was sketched, giving a new view of the mighty Lunkar-gangri and showing its ramifications to the N. W. as in profile. To the S. 2 3° E. the highest peak of the Lunpo-gangri, just appears above the horizon.

The next day's march, April .10th, proceeds S. S. E. and S. E. for 13.7 km. to Camp CCCLXXVIII at an altitude of 4,905 m., or 22 m. above the previous camp, being a rise of 1:623. Pan. 458A, B and c, Tab. 86, taken from the last-mentioned camp, is very instructive, as it commands two mighty mountain systems of the Transhimalaya. To the S. 18° E. we have the steep and high peak of the Lunpo gangri group, and S. 14° E. its more flat neighbour. To the S. W., west and N. W. is the Lunkar Range, its highest crest being hidden by lower nearer hills. To the N. 19° W. is the valley of the Buptsang tsangpo. From N. 5° E. to N. E., east and S. E. are mighty snow-covered peaks of the Kanchung-gangri, the range on the right or eastern side of the valley of the Buptsang- sangpo.

The road to Camp CCCLXXIX, Bupyung- ring, at an altitude of 4,911 m., proceeds, April I'M, 13.8 km. S. S. E. The rise is, therefore, only 6 m. and the rate 1:2,300. It is interesting to notice the extremely flat gradient in the valleys between the parallel ranges of the Transhimalaya. The panorama, 461A and B, Tab. 87, from the last camp, is important. It shows to the W. N. W., parts of the Lunkar Range, to the N. 2 5° W., the valley of the Bupsang-tsangpo, to the north, east and S. E., parts of the Kanchung-gangri, to the S. I 3° E., the steep peak of Luizpo gangri, to the S. 5° E., S. 9° W. and S. 29° W., other peaks of the same group, and to the S. W., hills hiding the Lunkar Range. In Vol. III, p. 318 the second watercolour panorama is also taken from Camp CCCLXXIX. Both were taken at the spot, the black one on April I'M, the coloured, April 12th. The latter is, therefore, not simply a copy of the first, and the colours are as near the real colours in clear weather as I could come.
