as the other places before mentioned, to be visited by gold-diggers every summer.
After seasons of comparatively large gain, the number of visitors used to increase.
After years when the sand only yielded a small amount of gold grains, only a few
diggers returned. Our road approaches the hills, and at the point where our direction
becomes southerly, solid rock at last cropped out of the detritus and proved to be
light grey quartzitic sandstone. No other living rock was passed the whole day.
Turning around the base of the hills we finally direct our steps to the S. W., cross-
ing some watercourses which all, no doubt, by and by join one principal bed directed
to Gomo-tsaka. The last bed contained ice and some running water, and near it
Camp LXI was pitched.
The names given us during the march were the following: Shemar-tibo, a
mount at some 15 km. E. S. E., and Tseka-guva, hills to the S. E. The same name
was said also to indicate the valley leading up to Camp LXII, and farther S. E.
Seo-yunna, a meridional range farther south with some snow. The snowy mountain
Mayu-gangri, was still in sight at a considerable distance E. N. E. Behind the
hills south of the camp and to the S. W. of it, there was said to be a region called
Gomo-gakcho, where gold was to be found. All the names here mentioned, except
the last, are to be found on Pan. 71B, Tab. 11. We see here the mountains
N. W., north and N. E. of the camp. The corner to the N. 54° E. is the one at
which our direction became S. W.¹ To the N. 83° E. the snowy peak of Mayu-
gangri is seen rising above the plateau-land. The pyramidal, but not very high, peak,
Shemar-tibo, rises to the S. 69° E. To the S. 45° E. is Tseka-guva which is rather
a region than a mountain. To the S. 15° E. a part of the snow-covered Seo-yunna
is in sight, and would later on be approached by our route.
Regarding the names in such a region as this it is, of course, difficult to tell
whether they are absolutely reliable or not. I have said before that we, regarding
the first names given us, could check the veracity of the three natives we had met
so far, for they gave, independent of each other, the same names. But now, during
the few days' march when we only had the two Tibetan guides to ask, it was diffi-
cult to check the veracity of their information. I used to have the younger man
with me. He was about 30 years old. My caravan-bashi, Mohammed Isa, used to
question the older man, who was about 50 years of age. In camp we compared
