placed, as by Moorcroft, on a wrong river. The joint Satlej breaks below Koung-
loung through the eastern part of the mountain ring, and continues beyond it under
the name of Langtsing-khampa. Thouling (Totling) is placed at some distance south
of the river, as on Moorcroft's map, and Tchebreng (Tsaparang or Chabrang) has
no more been placed on the river, than it was on the Lamas' map.

The name Kailas is missing on the map. The source of the Indus is placed
due north of Rakas-tal, and so far correct, that it is separated from the Satlej
lakes by a mountain range, the northern part of the ellipse, and from the eastern
drainage by a more or less meridional water-parting. This branch of the Indus he
calls Riviere Seimzheing-khampa, and correctly regards it as the main branch, and
real source of the Indus, a fact that was doubted by much later geographers.

On his great map of 1836¹ Klaproth has made some alterations in the hydro-
graphy, and very considerable improvements in the orography. The mountain ranges
are much less dependent on the drainage areas than on the sketch of 1820. The
Tibetan names of the Indus and Satlej are improved to Singhe tchou and Langtchou;
the lakes are called Mapham mtso or, in Sanscrit, Manas Sarowar, and Lang mtso,
Langga, or Rawan head.² As to the drainage area of the Manasarovar, Klaproth now
seems to return to d'Anville's Lama map, (Vol. I. Pl. LI), with which at least the
eastern affluents have an unmistakable resemblance. The source of the Satlej is
marked in accordance with the Chinese and d'Anville, and called M. Langtsian
kabab ghang ri, for Lantchia Kepou, as d'Anville has it. From this mountain, at
the present day called Ganglung-gangri, the Satlej goes down to Gunchu-tso and
farther north-west-wards to the Manasarovar, at the very place where in reality the
Tage-tsangpo is situated. East of the source of the Satlej is M. Tamtsiogh kabab
ghang, or the source of Tamchok-kamba, the Tsangpo or Brahmaputra, which we
shall have to deal with separately.

Regarding the small rivulets entering the Manasarovar from N. E., the nameless
one coming from a little lake is undoubtedly Samo-tsangpo, as may he deduced
from Pl. LI (Vol. I). D'Anville's L. Conghé is, namely, identical with Klaproth's
L. Goungd.³ Matchoung and Dzie mai tchou occupy the valleys of what we know
as Pachung and Pachen.

Though M. Tise, Tese Ghang, Ti se ri, or Kaï las'a is now entered, the
mountain wall, which on the sketch of 1820 separated the basin of the Indus from
that of the Satlej lakes, has disappeared, at least there is an interruption just
above the source of the Indus. M. Sengghe kabab ghang ri is so far wrong that
Singi-Kabab only means and indicates the source of the Indus. I never heard this
