How uncertain he really was regarding the situation of the source of the Indus
can be seen from the following note: ¹ »It is possible that the streams which are
said to issue from the lake Mansaroor to the south of the river of Ladauk, may be
the main stream of the Indus.» There can be little doubt that this passage was
written before Elphinstone knew the results of Moorcroft's journey in 1812. But
it may be a confusion with the Satlej, which really issued (about 1800) from the
Manasarovar, and is situated south of the Indus.
