MY ROUTES ACROSS THE TRANSHIMALAYA.

547

the relations on seven lines across the Transhimalaya. The two first, however, do not belong to the Tsangpo. In all cases the slope is steeper on the southern side than on the northern. The difference of height between the northern and southern endpoints increases towards the east; only the fourth line seems to present an exception, which, no doubt, is due to the fact that Ushü is not situated on the river, but some 6o or 7o m. above it.
