He is not correct in saying that the Tibetans seldom have any name for their
rivers, but simply call them Tsangpo, Tokpo or Chu. If they have names these
chiefly belong to the valleys. For nearly every river in the inhabited parts of the
country has a name. The term ‹Kabab› or Khabap he translates ›Vomitary Cataract‹
or ‹Fountain› and is right in saying it more applies to the mere source than the
whole river.
As to the watersheds he has found that they are by no means observant of
the main mountain ranges, the connection or separation of basins being often deter-
mined by cross fissures and secondary ridges.
An excellent Map of West Nari is added to Strachey's paper. A mere glance
at this map, Pl. XI, would convince everybody that the source of the Satlej is to
be searched for S. E. of the Manasarovar. The effluence from both lakes is strongly
marked, disregarding its periodical character. Kailas is correctly shown as a peak
situated south of the Transhimalaya. The source of the Indus is placed too far east.
