THE LAKES AND SOURCES DESCRIBED BY MODERN
COMPILATORS.
To give an idea of the European knowledge of the geography of our lakes
and the sources of the great rivers in the years preceding the latest visits, I have
in this chapter brought together the views of some competent geographers, who
have published books on Tibet generally, or otherwise paid attention to its geography.
On his journey in the upper valleys of the Himalaya ANDREW WILSON also

the Satlej does not come from the ›Tibetan Kailas‹ at all, but from the country
east of Manasarovar and flows through both lakes.¹

Tal through that lake, but the stream is soon turned from its lateral course by the
southern extremity of the snow-clad spur which runs from Hanle to a point south
of Gartok.‹²
LÉON FEER in his excellent little book³ on Tibet categorically declares: ›Au
