CHAPTER XXXVI.

RYDER, RAWLING, SANDBERG AND OTHERS.

An important step towards the solution of the problem was made by RYDER
in 1904, though he did not approach the source any nearer than NAIN SING had
done. Before we go over to the discussion of his results, I will quote the views of
two or three authorities, from an epoch when every geographer was still influenced
by Nain Sing's report.

On RECLUS' little map we recognize Nain Sing's uppermost Tsangpo which
is, as we have seen, nothing else than the Chema-yundung.¹

Reclus, who often quotes his countryman D'ANVILLE, had, in this case, more
confidence in Nain Sing. He is right in making a low threshold (Tamlung-la) the
watershed between the Satlej and Brahmaputra.

I have shown above that Nain Sing's description in exactness could never be
compared with d'Anville's, and that he never clearly told where the main source was
situated. Therefore such a great geographer as Elisée Reclus got a quite differ-
ent view than another learned student of the geography of Asia, Professor WILHELM
SIEVERS, who places the source in the Maryum-la.²

Thus we have to choose between Tamlung-la, 50 miles from the confluence,
and Maryum-la, 30 miles from the confluence. GRAHAM SANDBERG, in 1904, takes
