Of *Shuru-tso,* I now heard for the first time; it was shown as being situated
to the S. 45° W., though it is S. S. W. of our *Camp XCI.* I understood it must
be the same lake which Nain Sing had heard of and called *Siru-tso.* From *Kemar,*
our informant knew only one road to *Shigatse,* though three existed; the western
and eastern, he had not travelled, but the one in the middle, which was the best
and the nearest, he knew. It was said to pass by *Natamchen* and *Gyangtse,* men-
tioned above, *Tsigor, Sebseb,* a pass, *Lumsong, Nagma-chu,* a large river that even
now is open, and in summer is 1 m. deep; from there the *Targo* Mountains are
visible and may be reached in one day on horseback; then *Nagma-churu, Busi-
kibyung, Lingyu, Targo-tsangpo,* coming from the *Targo* Mountains and cor-
responding to Nain Sing's *Dumphu. Targo* is here pronounced as *Targut.* Then
the valley of *Targo-tsangpo* is followed *viâ Tarok, Leh-nakting, Ladya* and
*Tuba-la,* after which one arrives at *Tangne,* with a cornice-road and a little lake
called *Shung-tso;* then *Kokyu, Shungtang, Shungok,* with a little pass, *Dangdo,*
with a high pass called *Shovo-la, Sarokting, Yarung-pikya,* a village with stone
huts and cultivated ground; *Keme, Rudok-song, Na-keyu, Namling-song,* well-
known on our maps and four days from *Shigatse.* Our informant left the latter
town alone, and passed by *Nang-la,* the village *Saulung, Ngo, Nga-lagang, Parka,
Nebyi, Chungar,* where the *Tsangpo* is crossed, *Latse, Gyanglep,* a village, and
*Sakya-tumyu,* to the famous monastery of *Sakya.* A few of these names may be
identified, but most of them are unknown to us. So much is certain: that many
routes cross the *Transhimalaya* in different directions, which have to be explored
in the future.
On our arrival at *Camp XCI,* a Tibetan caravan was seen approaching the
same place from the east. It consisted of a few men on horseback driving 12 ponies
and 100 sheep loaded with barley and roasted meal or *tsamba* which had been
bought somewhere farther south and payed for with salt. Now the caravan was on
its way to the *Bogtsang-tsangpo,* where the men had their homes, belonging to the
*Naktsang* province. The provisions would be sufficient for the winter when distri-
buted among several other tents, the rest of their food consisting of milk and the
flesh of wild yaks or, if game is scarce, the flesh of sheep.
On the plain north of the camp several antelopes were seen, both *Pantholops
hodgsoni* and *Gazella picticaudata,* in small herds or two and three together. Wolves
were also seen in our neighbourhood.
On *December 21th,* we made 9.7 km. to the S. E. crossing the *Dongying*
Range in the pass *Sarya-la.* To the latter we had 5.8 km.; the altitude of the pass
is at 4,865 m. or 72 m. above *Camp XCI,* the rise, therefore, being very gradual
and comfortable, or as 1:81. On the south side, we had 3.9 km. to *Camp XCII* where
the height is 4,805 m., being a fall of 60 m., or as 1:65. From the figures given,
