TIBETANS CROSS TREATY-BOUNDARY 57
such incidents were not unlikely to occur as long as the
frontier officials had no practical acquaintance with the
actual border-line, and suggesting that it would probably
be convenient to arrange that Frontier Officers should
meet before long on the border arid travel together along
the boundary fixed by the Convention.
To this the Amban replied, in October, that the
Tibetan Council raised objections to our officers " travel-

British officers should travel on the Tibetan side of the
frontier, but that they considered the proposal to send
officers to define the frontier was one with which it was

informed what officer had been deputed by the Viceroy
for this duty, and the date on which he would arrive on
the frontier, in order that he might instruct the Chinese
and 'Tibetan deputies to proceed at the appointed time
for the work of demarcation."

also said that the Chinese deputy was an official whom he
had met at Yatung, and who had been most courteous to
him. And the Commissioner and Bengal Government
agreed that the Tibetan objection to British officers travel-
ling within the Tibetan borders might be respected, and
that it would be sufficient to erect pillars at the passes,
which could be approached from the Sikkim side. So the
Viceroy replied, in December, that he thought a start
should be made any time between May 1 and a my 1 ; that
