an irregular oval, 11 miles from north to south, 15 miles from east to west. The
water is »clear and well tasted». Grass is thrown upon its banks from the bottom.
Lake Mapang has a noble appearance, whether agitated or quiet. And he finishes
his classic monograph with the words: »At what season this large basin is most full,
I could not learn; but I apprehend this must be the driest season, as the greatest
part of the water-courses which I saw were dry. But I found no appearance of
water-mark above four feet higher than the present water line; which would be
wholly insufficient to produce any overflow of its banks».
As a matter of fact he visited the lake during the beginning of the wet sea-
son. But as most of the rivers he saw were dry, the year must have been ex-
ceptionally poor in precipitation. ¹
On August 8th Moorcroft and Hearsay began their return journey to the
west. They crossed a river running to the Ráwanhrad or Rakas-tal, which had
been dry on their way out, but now contained 2 feet of water. They marched
a good distance to the north of Rakas-tal and therefore categorically deny the existence
of any islands in the lake, which had formerly been reported to exist. The further
description of the lake is fairly correct, but the representation on the map is
wrong.
He thinks the lake consists of two legs and their divergence forms an angle.
As to the issuing river he thinks he saw a stream issue out of it at the western
side of this angle, which, as he supposed, communicated with many streams which
form the Satlej: but this point he purposed to decide.
Alas! he could not go to the Rakas-tal on account of his fever. But he
found out that many rivulets go from the Cailas or Kailas ridge to the lake and
wrongly supposes that still more come from the south: he much regretted leaving
unsettled the question of a branch of the Satudrá proceeding from the Rakas-tal,
but had to bow to the necessity of the case. He heard that the lake was four
times as large as the Manasarovar, but could give no opinion of his own. The
principal streams which rise in the Kailas, and disembogue, he found to be, 1st, the
Siva Gangá; 2nd, Gaurí Gangá; 3rd, Darchan Gadrâh; 4th, Câtyâyani.
On August 13th he crosses the rivers going to »the Tirtápuri river». Two
of them were crossed on bridges and seem to have been rather swollen as he
speaks of one of his yaks swimming over with his load on. Beyond Tirtapuri, on
August 15th, he passes the entrance of a large river, supposed to issue from Ráwan-
hrad, and at the same place another little stream also falls into the Tirtapuri river.
»The stream resulting from this junction now takes the name of the Satudrá.» In
