Arun and Tsangpo. Thence he followed the Dingri-Chu to the west. From Dingri
a very good road runs north-west to Jong-ka-Jong (Songka-dsong), and thence by
Kirong to Katmandu. Thung-lung La, between the Arun and Bhotia-Kosi was found
to be 18 460 feet high. Montgomerie says the explorer crossed the Himalayan
watershed on this pass which cannot be right. ²On reference to the map it will
be seen that by this exploration the position of the great Himalayan watershed has
been determined in three different places. In each case it proves to be far behind
or north of the lofty peaks that are visible from Hindustán, such as Mount Everest,
Kanchinjinga, etc.³ ⁴ Only on Lagulung La and Dongo La was the great watershed
crossed. ⁵The explorer's route survey may be said in a rough way to give us a
general idea as to how the mountain drainage runs between the Himalayan water-
shed, north-west of Kirong, and the point where Turner crossed it near Chumalári, up
to the Bráhmáputra, or Sangpo River on the north from west of Jang-lache to
Shigatze.⁶
