From May to October 1905 Dr. T. G. Longstaff undertook a journey in
the Western Himalayas, and six weeks of this time were spent in Tibet, during
which he joined company with Mr. Charles A. Sherring, I. C. S. Sherring has
published a very interesting account of the journey, from which I will quote some
important passages.¹
He calls the Gurla Memo-Nam-Nyimri, the same form that is used by the
Great Trigonometrical Survey. Nimo-Numgyl is given by Longstaff as the local Ti-
betan form. The lakes are called Mobang and Lagang by Sherring and Mo-bang
and La-gang by Longstaff. Sherring regards the Indus as rising from the Kailas
Range.² The ›Sanpoor Brahmaputra‹ is said to rise from the Mariam or Maryum
Pass. On the map the legend: ›Source of the Brahmaputra River‹ is found in
82° 25' E. long. and 30° 33' N. lat., a few miles south of the Maryum Pass. The
Gurla Pass, between Karnali and the lakes, is given at 16,200 feet. Of Moor-
croft he says that he saw the source of the Sutlej river. The circumference of
Manasarovar is correctly given at 45 miles. He knows four of the monasteries round
the lake: Gozul, Thokar, Jaikep and Jiu.
Already in the preface he calls attention to a very good panoramic view of
the whole length of the channel with one lake at each end. ›Every reader can now
solve for himself those problems which have engaged the attention of the public
for a century, viz., as to whether there is any, and if so what, connection between
the two lakes.‹ Quoting Strachey he adds:³
›This statement is undoubtedly quite accurate, for we saw the channel which answered
the above description. It is a fact that at this present moment no water is actually flowing
between the two lakes, the reason being that storms blowing from the east have thrown up
sand at the mouth of the passage to a height of about 4 feet, but the best native information
on the spot gives it as a fact that after heavy rains the water traverses the channel. The last
