Sir Martin Conway accepted the name I proposed and added some very
wise words, which may serve as a splendid text to the many home-made maps of
these regions: »It is hardly necessary to say that no study-drawn outline of imagined
mountains ever approximates to the actual facts of mountain-contour which an ex-
plorer reveals . . . To discuss, therefore, the relative inaccuracies in this or the
other sketched in approximation to what different geographers have believed might
more or less vaguely represent the actual form of an unexplored range is to waste
time. The man who actually traversed previously untraversed ground, is the first
to replace deductions and hypotheses by actual knowledge, and thence forward his
information becomes the starting-point for all future developments in knowledge.»
Captain Cecil Rawling, the chief of the Gartok expedition, expressed the
following opinion: »Personally, I do not like the term Trans-Himalaya, for by rights
this belongs to the range lying immediately to the north of the Himalayas, and
between that range and the Brahmaputra. Foreign names and duplication of names
are, if possible, to be avoided. May I suggest such a one as Peu Kangri or the
Snow mountains of Tibet, or Peu Lho Kangri, a free translation of the Snow moun-
tains of Southern Tibet. Kailas range, the name suggested by Colonel Burrard, is
good for that particular range in which Kailas is situated, but, as Dr. Sven Hedin
has demonstrated, this is only one of similar ranges, and therefore it hardly seems
quite appropriate for the whole system.»
Rawling is not quite correct when he says that I »proved that the range sur-
veyed by Ryder, which runs parallel to, and distant 50 miles from, the north bank
of the Brahmaputra, is not surpassed in altitude by any range of mountains right
up to the Kwen Luen». For there is no such range. There are several ranges
more or less parallel to the Tsangpo. Even on Ryder's map there is no such
range, at least not 50 miles north of the Tsangpo. Only at one place is it 50
miles distant, namely at Amchok-tso, but there the Raga-tsangpo comes in between.
At another place it is only 3 miles from the Tsangpo. If such a range existed I
should have been happy to support the name Rawling proposes, namely the Ryder
mountains.
From what Dr. T. G. Longstaff saw when he climbed Gurla-mandata he
got the impression that »if any range is to be called Trans-Himalaya, it should be»
the one Cunningham called so. He finds Himalayan nomenclature already too com-
plicated for introducing the name Trans-Himalaya, in which I cannot agree as the
word trans, as Holdich remarks, places the system beyond the Himalaya and al-
together outside of it. The fact that the expression has been proposed three times
before does not complicate the question as these proposals were never accepted and
nobody remembers them. If »it was to obviate any further extension of the name
that Burrard and Hayden labelled the whole of this range the Ladak range, and
applied the name Kailas range to that system still further to the north and across
the Indus-Brahmaputra trough», it should be remembered, however, that the name
