tite prevail. A black ridge to the west is called Tsabu. Camp 123, Kabalo, is
at 4 344 m. Here the valley from the pass Tukung joins the Pema-nakbo-tang
valley which comes from the mountainous region Napcha in the N.E. Up the Pema-
nakbo there is a road to Chingdu, a name we had heard of several times before;
it is said to be a region with good pasture-grounds and inhabited by many nomads.
From Kabalo it is three days' journey to Chingdu, and the way is said to cross
three passes. Pema-nakbo is a left tributary to the Rung-chu; therefore the Ta-la,
although nearly 200 m higher than Dangbä-la, is of less hydrographical im-
portance.

From Kabalo the following geographical objects are visible: S. 17° W. a peak
Adchu-ri; S.W. Pee-ri, a mountain a few miles off; S. 72° W. mount Ayang; N. 85° W.
a great valley Gula with a road to Ngartang and Rung. To the N.W. Talang is
a considerable group, N.E. of which is seen the valley of Kyashova; N. 30° W. is
the region Larkok and N. 22° W. a valley Chachung-pu; N. 18° E. the valley Yamdo;
N. 35° E. mount Kori-yung; to the N.E. the valley Tachen-napta-shar, to the south
of which is Lungchung, and further south Lalung and Santong, — all situated in
the neighbourhood.

The road follows the Pema-nakbo valley down; it is fairly broad, to the right
or west it is bounded by a mighty range with many transverse valleys, all of them
containing frozen brooks; the ground is sandy, some tussock-grass appears. The
watercourse is bounded by well developed erosion terraces. Tributaries from the
right are: Migmang, Samalung, Damnga-tang and a valley from the pass Luk-la,
over which a road goes to a well populated tract on the Rung-chu; at Changma
there are a few huts. From the left: Santong-la-ongma, Pendha and Lalung, two of
which are mentioned above. Arung-kampa is a fort in ruins and a village in the middle
of the valley. The region round Camp 124 is called Shepa-kava; there is also a
dsong in ruins called Dokang-pe; therefore the place is also called simply Dokang,
and the brook of Pema-nakbo also Do-chu.

After having passed a little plain or widening of the valley, Yülung-tanka, and
left to the right a small monastery, Chega-gompa on a hill at the foot of mount
Hasha, the river pierces the mountains at Chomo-nyupcha and goes between dark,
steep rocks down to Rung-chu. The junction takes place at Tsolung, below which
the joint valley is called Amnak-rung. After a short run the river enters the plain
of Ye. Dongra and Gasa are mountains on its left side. All these places are situated
a little to the west of the road, which takes a more S.E. direction up to the pass
La-rok, which is only 4 440 m high, but well known all round and even north of
the Pabla. Another low pass is situated a little further east with a road to a valley
called Chimser. The ground is sandy, not gravelly as hitherto; on the pass are
heaps of blocks. On and beyond the pass the living rock is porphyritic granite and
turmalin-quartzite.

The slope down from the La-rok is not regular, for here the road crosses
