being called in a like manner, just as in India any large river is Ganga. Yaru is
the distinctive name of the great river whose full title is Yaru-tsàng pochú, great
river Yaru of Tsáng.³ Professor J. SUMMERS, however, is right in saying that
»Tsang po means simply river, and should not be called Sanpu but Tsang po«.¹

The eight next stages are Saoo, Yeung la or Mount Yeung, Rongting River,
Dabloong, Karoola, which Hodgson identifies with Klaproth's Kharab, Zhara, Chak-
looung, and Nagarchi Jong, called Nagardzong on Pemberton's map and Nagar Oze
by Klaproth.

Stage 21st is Yamdo, (Yeumtso). Yarbragh Yeumtso of Pemberton's map.
Yarbrok Yú and Yambra Yúm of Klaproth. »The lake is of immense circumference«;
a man from Lassa once travelled round it in 18 days and he had relays of ponies
all the way. Fish are most abundant in all parts of it. The depth of the water is
very great. »At one place it is 18 score of fathom, 2 160 feet.« (!) There is an
island in the S.W. corner of the lake, on which there is a Goomba named Dorje
Phamo. The passage is fordable and about a mile in width. This is the only part
of the lake that admits of a fordable passage to the island. In all other parts
leather boats are used in the navigation and fishing. The island is a mile in dia-
meter and rises gradually from the water to a height of 200 feet. The island is
not at all large, nor is it the least like that in Pemberton's map. Pilgrims cir-
cumambulate the island 3 times. There is a spring of fresh water on the island,
which supplies the Goomba, and on the mainland the people drink the water of other
springs. The water of the lake is not considered wholesome.

Along the lake the itinerary goes to Yassi and Kesong, (Sambo) bridge,
crossing a »creek of the Yamdo Yeumtso«, which extends in a northerly direction
about 2 days' journey. It is not running water. At the bridge it is 400 yards wide.
The Yamdo Yeumtso is fed by numerous small rills, but has no river running out
of it. The bridge of Kesong is sometimes under water in the rainy season (August).
It is formed of 18 stone-masonry pillars with a platform of large slabs or slates.
The depth of the water at the bridge in the dry season is but 2 or 3 feet.²

Then follows, 24th stage, Phedijong, 25th Tamaloong (Djamaloung of Pem-
berton's map), and Kambaparzy. The road lies over a pass of the Kambo mount-
ain the whole of which to the north of the road is covered with perpetual snow.
The pass is never blocked up. Cambala of Rennell, Gamba of Klaproth. »The
Kambola range extends southwards to the Yamdo Yeum lake and a great way to
the north.«

Stage 27 is Kumpachangtong and the next Chasumchoori. »At this place you
cross the Yaroo Tzangbo, which is the largest river in Tibet. It runs here to the
