The next march, on *April 12th,* continues in a nearly north-westerly direction for
12.6 km. to *Camp CXLI* or *Kating,* where the altitude amounts to 4,229 m., 52 m.
above *Sirchung,* and a rate of 1 : 242, showing still a very slow fall of the *Mü-chu*
valley. In Vol. III, p. 272 there is a photograph of my camp at *Kating,* and
Pan. 157, Tab. 28, shows the *Mü-chu* valley continuing N. N. E.
On *April 13th,* we travelled 16 km. N. N. E. and north to *Camp CXLII* or
*Linga-gompa,* at an altitude of 4,302 m., or a rise of 73 m. *Kating* and *Linga*
both being situated along the river, may be compared directly, the rate is here 1 : 219
which is still a very gradual fall.
Between p. 272 and p. 273, Vol. III, there are some sketches from *Linga* and
other places in the neighbourhood. Between p. 274 and p. 275 there are three
photographs of *Linga-gompa.* Pan. 163, Tab. 30, is a view of the bridge across
the right, or western, tributary *Lenjo,* with the *Mü-chu* valley to the right. Pan. 167,
Tab. 30, is taken from *Linga-gompa* and gives a view up the valley of *Bup-chu,*
the upper course of which we had passed on the first crossing. In the background
due east is the peak *Luchen,* and along the *Bup-chu* we see the villages of *Damochar,
Dela* and *Linga-gyu;* between the two rivers is the village of *Linga,* and in the
foreground *Mü-chu. Pongra, Tabu* and *Donglung* are mountain regions along the
eastern side of the valley, and *Kipuk* is a little tributary from the same side.
On *April 17th,* our road takes us 9.6 km. to *Camp CXLIII, Langmar*
where the altitude is 4,331 m., or 29 m. above *Camp CXLII,* the rate being,
only 1 : 331. The direction is N. N. W. Pan. 165, Tab. 30, shows, to the N. 45° W.,
how very narrow the valley is in this section, and how steep the *Donglung* tributary
is, coming down from the N. 52° E. Pan. 164, Tab. 30, is taken from *Langmar* in
the direction of our road to the N. W.
On *April 18th,* we travelled 12 km. N. W. and W. N. W. to *Camp CXLVI,
Govo.* Here the altitude is 4,524 m., 193 m. above *Camp CXLIII,* and the rate
of ascent as 1 : 62. The gradient is, therefore, much steeper than hitherto. If we
consider only the 8 km. from *Camp CXLIII* to the junction of the *Ke-tsangpo* and
*Pashu-tsangpo,* the latter being the upper course of the *Mü-chu,* the rate becomes
still steeper or as 1 : 44, for at the confluence the altitude is 4,513 m.
Pan. 162A, Tab. 30, shows the view up the *Pashu* valley to the west, giving
an idea of its narrowness. Pan. 162B shows the confluence of the two rivers as
seen from the same point as Pan. 162A. The *Ke-tsangpo,* as I have said before,
is no doubt the lower part of the *Sela* valley. The brooks flowing down to the
south from *Sela-la* to *Chang-la-Pod-la* thus join at this point, and go to the *Mü-chu.*
Just below the confluence, and particularly on the section of steep fall, 1 : 44, the
*Mü-chu* breaks through the range to *Chesang-la,* mentioned above. The hills to
the west and east of the lowest part of *Ke-tsangpo* are called *Namnam* and
