direct way than d'Anville and Klaproth, he had been able to contribute to our know-
ledge of the Transhimalayan mountains. At the same time I will also touch upon
some problems of physical geography which belong to the Himalaya and the road
to Lhasa.

Concerning the road to Lhasa, Hodgson has communicated an itinerary by a
Kashmiri Bhotia, Amir.¹ His 13th stage took him to Tingri, at the extremity of
which is the village of Langur, tenanted by Bhotias, and consisting of seven or eight
houses. Here is also a river going east and then north to Kerung which finally reaches
Digarchi. The travellers' passports are examined at Langur.² ›Tingri is a respect-
able town of Bhotias — and in the centre of it is an elevated and detached spot,
wherein dwell a considerable number of Chinese. At Tingri commences a line of
post, maintained by horses, and stretching viâ Digarchi and Lahassa to China. The
winter is intensely cold at Tingri. The periodical rains extend there, and are some-
times unusually severe, so that it rains incessantly for a week.‹

The 16th stage takes the traveller to Chang-Larché (Lhatse-dsong). ›East
of the city passes a river, which, flowing northwards, falls into the river of Digarchi.‹³
The 17th stage is Phinju-Ling, and the next day, after 3 cos, he comes to a village
called Tangsu-Chambu:⁴ ›By the village flows a river called Di-chu, proceeding from
south to north. This river has a great breadth and violent current, and is crossed
by the traveller at a ferry close to the village, upon which ply two ferry-men.‹ The
19th stage is Dungá-sétu, and the next Sákya, which is not on the high road. The
following stages are: Chárúng, Nátán, Teshú Lhambu and Digarchi. Then follows,
on the way to Piná, the river Chúrr-Erku east of Digarchi; course from N. to S. (!).
Then: Kyángzhé, Rillúng, Zarrah and Lagánché:⁵ ›South of the village is a vast
lake, in truth, an ocean called Yamzú. There are three rocky isles in the lake . . .
The water is extremely salt and bitter.‹ The 28th stage is Paité. The next is
Kambha: ›Eight cos in advance of Paité you journey over a plain, and then reach
the base of a mountain called Kambhal, the ascent of which is one and a half cos.
On the top is a spring of excellent water. The descent of the mountain is three
cos, and at the bottom of it lies the village of Kambha, of about one hundred houses,
tenanted by Bhotias, and two Chinese. The latter are soldiers, and superintend the
royal Dâk.‹

The 30th stage: 2 cos to ›a mountain called Chakshamchu-Arí . . . Beneath
the mountain flows a river called Yékó-Chángó.⁶ Its waves are very large — and
