From available sources Ritter places the snow-mountain Kailas in the N.E. of
the Tibetan province of Nga-ri and gives it 9 geogr. miles in circumference. It
is steep on all sides and from its eternal snow innumerable springs pour constantly
down. It is considered as the highest of all mountains and is called the Oneuta in
Hindu books. Round it are situated the four animal mountains, the k'hababhs, in
the form of a horse (Tam tsiogh), an elephant (Lang tsien), a lion (Sengghe) and
a peacock (Mabghia).¹ At another place² he says the Hindu name for the moun-
tain is Kailas, the Chinese is Oneuta or O-neou-ta and the Tibetan is Gang-dis-ri
or 'Snowcoloured mountain', from which d'Anville's maps have got their Kentaisse.
In his opinion both the sources of the Indus and the Tsangpo are situated on the
Kailas, and from this mountain mass the Kara-korum stretches N.W. and the snowy
ranges of Hor or Khor and of Dzang to the east, a question to which we shall have
to return later on.
Clearer than words the diagrams, of which I have two reproductions, will give
a graphic idea of the knowledge attained by European geographers about 1830, re-
garding the mountains and rivers of southern Tibet. The first of them the upper part
of Pl. VII, is taken direct from the original hand-drawing of the great Asiatic scholar,
Carl Ritter.³ It shows the absolute and relative height of some prominent peaks.
About the middle of the diagram we find the Plateau of Tibet with the Manasarovar,
supposed to be at 14,000 feet. From its western end the Satlej issues, breaks through
the Himalaya, and joins the Indus. The latter river has its source a little above
and west of the Manasarovar. The Brahmaputra is supposed to start from nearly the
same height as the lake and from a point just east of its eastern margin. It is spec-
ially pointed out that the transverse valleys of both the Indus and Brahmaputra
were unknown.
The lower part of Pl. VII, is from a sketch by J. L. Grimm.⁴ The Rawen
Hrad and Manas Sarowara are at one and the same level. From the western end
of the western lake the Satudra or Setlej goes out. The same relations are shown
in a somewhat different form on another hand-drawn profile, by Grimm.⁵
Pl. VIII also shows a map of very great interest, not only because it is the
reproduction of the hand-drawn original of the famous orientalist Klaproth, and there-
