not run southwards nor terminate at the great lake, nor can it be the boundary of
the U' and Tsáng provinces. A continuation of it, however, running from Jamá-
lung to the lake is meridional or follows a south direction, and seems to end at the
lake, though Klaproth carries it much further south, viz. to Dód, under the name of
Ganglagangri. This portion of the range may mark the boundary of the two great
provinces. But the route according to Klaproth, leaves it far on the right and crosses
it where it has a W and E course parallel to the great river.»
On the Ta-ch'ing map Kambala is entered. D'Anville has the range as a
latitudinal ridge crossed by the road but without name. Desideri and Beligatti give
a good description of the pass and the road. In GEORGI's Alphabetum Tibetanum,
Rome 1762, we find, already in the index the following notice: »Kambala. Ex illius
vertice Indi & Tibetani viatores religioso ritu salutant nivosos montes.» The situation
of Shigatse in relation to the river has been described by Turner. In this connection
Hodgson does not give any particulars about Klaproth's range north of and parallel
to the river. Judging from Ryder's map the range of Kamba-la is obviously parallel
with the course of the Tsangpo, as should be expected. In this paper, published
in 1848, Hodgson says the Kamba-la cannot be the boundary of the U' and Tsáng
provinces. In 1856 he is of the opposite opinion.¹ A southern continuation of the
range he says, in 1848, may be the boundary. As to the watershed Hodgson's
opinion is this: »Klaproth makes Chumalári, not Himáchal, the great water shed of
this part of Tibet; so also Turner. The snowy range is here, no doubt broken with
inner and outer ridges, whereof Chumalári is (for us) the inner and apparently the
most elevate, though Cholo is also of vast elevation. From Chumalári the rivers of
the route flow south to India and north to the Sánpú.»
Campbell adds a few words regarding the Great Mountain Ranges crossed on
the route. The first is Himalaya proper, visible from Darjiling, crossed at »Chola»
eleven stages from Darjiling. The second is the »Yeung range» crossed on the
fourteenth march from Phari. The third is the »Karoo range», said to be very lofty
and crossed on the third march from Yeung la. The fourth is the »Kamba range»,
said to be the most lofty in Tibet and crossed on the eighth march from Karoola.
It divides the Digarchi and Lassa jurisdictions. »The Kamba range runs south-
wards, terminating at the great lake of Yamdo Yeum. It is not given in Pember-
ton's map, but in Mr. Hodgson's route from Nipal to Tazedo, on the Chinese
frontier.»²
