where grass, water and fuel were to be had, disregarding the length of our marches.
The names given by the Tibetans might be situated between our camps and have been
lost to us as nobody was there to tell us of them. On the other hand we really
seem to have entered the very road proposed, for at least some names agreed with
the list given. The latter runs as follows: Beginning from *Camp LXII*, they reckoned
our march to: 1. *Seo-yunna,*¹ or *Camp LXIII*. 2. *Rodu-tsäka*, a valley with water,
obviously not the same as our *Camp LXIV*. 3. *Ngemba-dungtsa*, a little lake
surrounded by high mountains, and quite in accordance with our *Camp LXV*, as
will be seen hereafter. 4. A plain without a special name. 5. *Chupcha-karne*, a
valley with water and grazing-grounds, where one is passing between black mountains,
some of them with snow. This place is naturally the same as our *Camp LXVII*,
where the name *Chupcha-karmo-lungpa* later on was given us. 6. *Kung-rergen*,
with water and grazing and a little lake to the south. This place could not be
identified. 7. *Kungdo-lema-karmo*, the region south of the above-mentioned lake;
not identified. 8. *Puyung-sokpa-dre*, a narrow valley where everything necessary is
to be had. The name could not be found by us. 9. *Mukpo-serkung*, a large valley
with a considerable brook running to a little lake called *Mukpo-dimrap*. 10. *Mukpo-
dungmik*, two valleys the brooks of which join. 11. *Namdäng*, a place where
everything is plentiful, and in the neighbourhood of which there used to be several
tents from *Naktsong*. From this place a large black mount with ice and snow
was said to be visible. Only so far did they know the road, which, from *Namdäng*
ought to take 4 or 5 days more to reach *Bogtsang-tsangpo*. The three names with
*Mukpo* as their first component, put it beyond doubt that we really were able to follow
the way proposed. For we passed, between *Camps LXXII* and *LXXIII*, a *Mukpo-
malung* and at *Camp LXXV* a *Mogbo-dimrap*, which of course is identical with
the *Mukpo-dimrap* of our Tibetans, though the pronunciation we later on heard
was more soft; but this is only a matter of dialects, and *mukpo* and *mogbo* are
one and the same word. The Tibetans had thus told us we had 15 or 16 days
to *Bogtsang-tsangpo*. In reality we had 18 from *Camp LXII*. At any rate we
had obtained a control on the reliability of the Tibetans, and it may well be said
that they proved to be quite trustworthy. For certainly they were not respon-
sible for our not finding several of the names they had mentioned to us. After
having checked their veracity in this way, the other information they gave us in-
creased in value.
Our route as described above was said to run a three days' march east of
*Tok-daurakpa*. The road from *Camp LXII* to the home of our two Tibetans in
the district of *Gertse*, was described as passing the following stations: 1. A nameless
