to join, does not matter much, nor the fact that, for instance, Suckor (Sukkor) is
marked as situated on the Satlej, though it is in reality on the main river, far below
the confluence of all the Panjab branches.

The source of the Satlej is situated amongst the mountains of a province Siba.
I am not aware of the origin of this name, which may have been prominent in the
beginning of the seventeenth century when Terry and Roe travelled in India.¹ On
»Sir Thomas Roe's Map of East India« (Pl. XXXVII), the situation agrees perfectly
with Roe's text, and from it Siba entered many European maps of India, for instance,
Sanson's 1654 (Pl. XXIX). Delisle, who rejects Hardwar, has removed Siba some-
what to the west, and made it rather belong to the Satlej drainage area. On Wit-
sen's map of 1687 (Pl. XXXIV) we have seen one of the feeders of the Ganges
coming out of a Siba lake, a view adopted by Ides 1704 (Pl. XXXVIII). Some
rumour must have reached Witsen's informant that the Ganges originated in a lake,
the lake of Siba. Has now Delisle heard that it was the Satlej and not the Ganges
that came from the lake of Siba, — or Siva, Civa, the Mahadeva of Hindu mythol-
ogy, for indeed some 60 years later Father Tieffenthaler heard the Manasarovar
styled as the lake of Maha Deo? Delisle has, however, taken the precaution to re-
ject the lake and only to retain the old name Siba at the source of the Satlej.

The most interesting is Delisle's drawing of the upper Ganges. Here he has
followed, or, at any rate, believes that he has faithfully followed the narrative of
Andrade, along whose route he has entered Sirinagar, Mana, Badid pagode, Cha-
parangue or Tibet. These are all the names which are contained in Andrade's narra-
tive.² But Delisle's Ganges does not come from a »pool« on the pass of Mana;³ it
takes its origin at a very considerable distance beyond Mana, and flows on its way
through a considerable lake, north of the mountains. The lake is nameless as
Andrade's »tanque«, and it is meant to be the same. East of Badid (Badrid) and
S.E. of the lake is Chaparangue or Tibet. North of it a long river running east to west
seems to enter the lake, but a legend tells us otherwise: Riviere qui sort du méme
Lac que le Gange. Elle arrose le Rᵉ de Tibet. Delisle must have felt somewhat
mystified by this extraordinary bifurcation, but he had nothing else to do than to
