From the pass, which is situated in granite, the road goes steep down to
the spring Tayep-parva; at 5 119 m, a brook from this spring continues to the lake.
From a hill lower down, being 4 938 m high, one again has a beautiful view over
the lake, which is nearly 200 m below. The mountain shoulders approaching the
southern shore are quite visible, and so are all the details of the great island with
its rocky ridge. To the N. 14° E., at the northern shore, is a small mountain called
Shingsa, and to the N.E. a valley, Tama-mesuk; to the right of it is the region
Kogle; and to the E.N.E., on the southern shore, Tayep-yogma, and due east-
wards the pass Ka-la in the Surla range. To the N. 26° W. one sees a very deep
bay of the lake behind a ridge.

The road then follows the southern shore of the lake nearly westwards, leav-
ing to the south the valley, Tayep-kongma. At the foot of the southern mountains
the old beach-lines are beautifully visible. The water is salt, but there are some
fresh springs. The height of the lake is 4 746 m. At Camp 437 the rock is
diabas.

The Pedang range comes to an end at the southern shore of Nganglaring-
tso. The best road to Selipuk is undoubtedly along the shore, but keeping south-
westwards across the last hills of the Pedang range, one gets an admirable view of
the whole country and the lake. A little valley with a brook shows the road up
to the very flat pass of Pu-karu-la, 5 287 m. high, and situated in porphyrite.
In fact the pass is more like an open platform with no hindrance to the view all
round. To the east and S.E. the horizon is closed by the Surla range, and to the
S.W. the Lavar and Ding-la ranges rise a series of 63 snow-covered and pyramidal
peaks, not very high and all of about the same height. To the S. 10° W. is
shown the region where Sumdang-tsangpo has its sources, and S. 20° W. is shown
the source region of Lavar-tsangpo; S. 10° W., on the Selipuk plain, is a place
called Chalak. Direct west is a little lake or pool situated south of Camp 439,
and called Goang-tso. To the N. 71° W. appears the western end of Nganglaring-
tso. The country west of the lake is mountainous, but the western shore itself is
shining white with salt and clay. N. 47° W., on the southern shore, is a headland,
