TO THE VALLEY OF THE TSANGPO.

389

Tab. 89, was sketched, showing to the north and N. E. the Lombo Range, the name of which is, of course, the same as Lunpo, though it is a different range.

On April 26th, we travelled i 7.7 km. south and S. W. to Camp CCCXCIII where the altitude is 4,656 m., a fall of 447 m. or at a rate of 1:40. On the road the little pass of Kule-la is crossed at 5,088 m.

To Semo-ku, Camp CCCXCIV, we had, April 271h, only 3.5 km. S. S. W., descending 6o m. to an altitude of 4,596 m., the rate of fall being z :58.

The last day's march on this section was z 2 km. to the S. W. and W. N. W. to Camp CCCXC V, Ushü. Here, at the southern base of Chomo-uchong, we were practically on the same level, descending only to 4,542 m. and again rising to 4,563 m. at Ushü. Pan. 481, Tab. 89, gives an idea of the little village of this name.

According to this calculation, the whole road had a length of 2 98 km. According to the measurement along the road on the construction map, it was 2 8 9.3 km.
