His brothers had heard the name Sénge Khabáb, »descended from the Lion's
mouth»; they had also heard the name Singi-chu or Lion River, in which the old
Sanscrit word Sinha was better preserved. He thinks this name points to the existence
of a very powerful opening of the source, and as the topographical situation corrob-
orates his conclusion, he thinks the Singi-kabab rises from a glacier. Everybody
familiar with the hydrography of Tibet would have believed the same, and it is ex-
ceptional that this river rises from a rather moderate source; and it is this source
which is called Singi-kabab, whereas the river itself is called Singi-kamba. He correct-
ly regards the Singi-branch as the principal river and the Gartang as its tributary.

The mountains N.E. of the sources of the Gartang (Gartung, Gartong or Gar-
chung) were estimated at 3,000 or 4,000 feet above the valley. Farther N.W. Adolph
and Robert could see the continuation of the Kailas range. On their way back
they crossed the Satlej and took the direction of the Mana pass.

In September Adolph went again to Tibet, crossed the Mana pass (18,406
feet) and the Bóko-la (18,450 feet), which the Pundits had estimated at 19,200 feet.
On the way back he visited Tholing (12,369 feet), and Cháprang which he found
inhabited, only in summer, by some 15 families. The Nélong pass he fixed at 18,320
feet. In Western Tibet we shall have to return to the important results of the
Schlagintweits on several occasions.¹

A curious contribution to our problem is given in a paper: A Trip to Thibet,
Kylas, Source of the Sutlej, and the Mansurwur and Rakhas Lakes, by Captain
H. U. Smith, I. A.² Together with Mr A. S. HARRISON, M. A. he started at the
end of June 1865 from »Nynee Tal» and by deceiving the »Tartar guard» they succeed-
ed in reaching »Kylas» or rather, the village of Darchin. They found the Manasaro-
var to be about 15 miles from Darchin, and encamped at the head of the lake under
