north of the Tsangpo. This indeed seems to be the case, as he says the Kailas
may be considered its centre, and the western and eastern parts of the ridge are
situated north of the upper Indus and Brahmaputra. Every doubt disappears by a
look at his map (Vol. II, Pl. V), where the Kailasa Mountains stretch from a point
N.E. of Manasarovar towards the west. But he has not dared to enter on his map
the eastern continuation of the range, from Manasarovar and further north of the
Tsangpo. For, as he says, very little is known of this range. And he has left to
others to take another step, namely to suggest that this ›ridge‹ were in connection
with the Nien-chen-tang-la of the Chinese maps.
The Chinese were incomparably better informed about the Tabie-tsaka and
its salt deposits than Hamilton. They knew, years before, not only the fact of salt
transport from the place, but had also made a map both of Tarok-tso and Tabie-
tsaka. Hamilton only heard from the natives of Nepal that such a lake existed:
›The borax and salt are said to be brought from a lake, which is situated nearly
north from Kathmandu, about fifteen day's journey beyond the Brahmaputra. They
are conveyed to Nepal on the backs of a large kind of sheep, of which many have
four horns, and which seem to be the common beasts of burthen in all the countries
towards the sources of the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra.‹¹
It is curious to see how, a hundred years ago, Europeans hardly dared to
approach the question of the existence of a mountain system or range north of the
Tsangpo. If Hamilton had only seen d'Anville's map he could have compared the
information he got from the natives with the results of the Chinese survey. He
would not have been able to proceed any further than to say that this coincidence
proved beyond doubt the existence of a mountain system, although it had to be
explored to be known. Even when he speaks of the trade route from Digarchi
(Shigatse) and Lhasa to ›Siling or Sining‹, the conclusion should have been near at
hand, with the assistance of the Chinese map, that this road had to cross the eastern
continuation of this ›third ridge‹. But there are innumerable examples of how long
a time has been necessary to clear up geographical problems, and it is not surpris-
ing that this should in a very high degree be the case in such a country as Tibet, so
difficult of access.
Nearly all the knowledge possessed by J. B. FRASER regarding the Trans-
himalayan regions is included in the following passage of his: ›The only European
travellers who are known to have entered on this new ground are Messrs Moorecroft
and Hearsay who penetrated by the Nitee-Mana pass, and reached the lake of
Mantulloee, Mansrowar, or Mepang. All these sources lead us to presume a pretty
extensive detail of hills beyond the loftiest belt, that by no means terminate even
at Gara or Gartope, though they do not reach the height of those to the west-
ward and southward. A branch of the Cailas range, undoubtedly a ramification of
