material we now possess one may be allowed to assert that Desideri, in Maryum-la,
has discovered the water-parting between the Satlej and the Brahmaputra. Desideri
is, finally, the first European who has followed the course of the Tsangpo the whole
way from Maryum-la to Chetang and at the same time he has discovered the source
of the tributary to the Tsangpo, which is called Maryum-chu.

Add to this the general merit of his narrative, the absence of fantastical
speculation, the quiet matter-of-fact way in which he gives his observations and no-
body will call it an exaggeration if I regard Ippolito Desideri as one of the most
brilliant travellers who ever visited Tibet, and, amongst the old ones, by far the
most prominent and the most intelligent of all.
