On *April 18th*, we travelled 15.3 km. S. S. W. down the *Rukyok* valley to *Camp CCCLXXXV*, at an altitude of 4,696 m. or a descent of 136 m. at a rate of 1:112.5. Pan. 464, Tab. 87, is a view to the S. E., south, S. W. and W. N. W. from the latter camp; the mountains visible on it are situated near the camp and hide every distant perspective. The next day's march takes us 11.8 km. S. E. down the *Rukyok* valley and a little bit up the valley of the *Kanchung-chu* or *Chaktak-tsang-po* to *Camp CCCLXXXVI, Charte*, where the altitude is 4,634 m., a descent of 62 m. and a rate of 1:190. From this camp Pan. 466, Tab. 88, is drawn to the E. N. E. up into the *Chaktak* valley. Pan. 467, Tab. 88, is taken from the same place to the S. S. W. down the valley of the *Chaktak-tsang po*.

On *April 20th*, we marched 13.8 km. east and E. N. E. up the valley of *Kanchung-chu*, which is the Upper *Chaktak-tsang po*, to *Camp CCCLXXXVII*, at an altitude of 4,702 m. The ascent is 68 m. and the rate 1:203. Pan. 470A and B, Tab. 88, taken from there shows only the mountains surrounding the valleys, the most important of which is the one to the N. 12° W., for here the Upper *Chaktak-tsang po* comes down from *Lapchung-tso*.

On *April 21st*, we travelled 13.7 km. S. E. up the valley of the *Gyäbuk-chu* to *Camp CCCLXXXVIII*, where the altitude is 4,865 m., or a rise of 163 m. and at a rate of 1:84. Pan. 471, Tab. 88, is drawn from this camp and shows a comparatively bulky peak to the N. 25° E. and more open land to the east and E. S. E.

Farther up the same valley to the E. S. E. and E. N. E., we had 12 km. to *Camp CCCLXXXIX* at an altitude of 5,001 m. The ascent is 136 m. and the rate, 1:88. Pan. 468, Tab. 88, is a view to the S. 88° E. from this camp, and Pan. 469, Tab. 88, shows the valley down to S. 50° W.

On *April 23rd*, we travelled east and E. S. E.; first, 6 km. to the pass, *Gyäbuk-la*, 5,175 m. high, a rise of 174 m. and a rate of 1:34. From the pass to *Camp CCCXC*, 5,079 m. high, we had another 6.3 km. with a fall of 96 m. at a rate of 1:66. The small panoramas, 473 and 474, Tab. 88, are views of valleys near the last camp.

The next day we had 10.6 km. E. S. E. to *Kinchen-la*, 5,441 m. high, a rise of 362 m. at a rate of 1:29, and another 3.6 km. E. S. E. to *Camp CCCXCI*, at an altitude of 5,209 m. or a descent of 232 m. at a rate of 1:15.5. Pan. 475, Tab. 88, is a view from the pass to the N. E. and E. N. E., showing a part of the range called *Lombo*, south of *Kanchung-gang ri*. Pan. 477, Tab. 88, is also from *Kinchen-la* and is of interest as it contains a part of the *Chomo-uchong* to the S. W. and a part of the *Lunpo-gangri* to the W. N. W. Pan. 476, Tab. 88, is taken from a point a little east of *Kinchen-la* and gives an idea of the mountains to the east and E. S. E. on both sides of the *Raga-tsang po*.

To *Camp CCCXCII, Rapak-do*, at an altitude of 5,103 m., we had 9.6 km. E. S. E. and S. S. E., descending 106 m. or at a rate of 1:91. At *Rapak-do* Pan. 478,
