*Amiri-rung* or *Ami-ri-rung*. On P. 275 and 276, Vol. III, there are some photographs
and sketches from this region.
On *April 20th*, the distance to *Camp CXLV, Chomo-sumdo,* is 19.2 km. due
west. The rise is 271 m. or 4,795 m. at *Camp CXLV*. The rate is 1:71. The
*Pashu-tsangpo,* streaming from west to east, is no doubt situated in the tectonic
valley which separates the two ranges of *Chesang-la* and *Shib-la* from one another.
On *April 21st*, we crossed the great continental water-parting in the pass
*Chang-la-Pod-la,* or »The Pass between Northern and Southern Tibet.» Its altitude
is 5,572 m. The ascent from *Camp CXLV* is, therefore, 777 m. The distance being
9.2 km. W. N. W., the rate is 1:11.8. On the northern side we had 6 km. W. N. W.
to *Camp CXLVI, Cha-oktsang,* where the altitude is 5,233 m. or 339 m. below
the pass, the rate thus being 1:17.7. On both sides the water-parting crest is thus
very steep, and, as usual, steeper on the southern than on the northern side of
the range.
Some photos were taken from the pass itself. They are to be found in Vol. III
between p. 276 and 277, and should be compared with Pan. 166, Tab. 30. The
latter is interesting as it shows the whole horizon as seen from *Chang-la-Pod-la*.
The view, however, is not at all far-reaching, and nearly the whole panorama represents
hills in our immediate vicinity and belonging to the water-parting crest itself. Only
to the N. 60° E. there is a distant range, probably the western continuation of the
one of *Shib-la*. To the S. 55° E. and in the direction of *Korso* is the road by
which we climbed up to the pass. To the N. 35° W., in the direction of the *Mug-
balung* valley, our road goes down from the pass, soon turning to the left around
the rocky corner and continuing westwards. Pan. 169, Tab. 31, is taken from *Cha-
oktsang* and gives a view of the very near mountains.
Having crossed the pass we are on the *Chang-tang* or Northern Plain. Still
the descent is comparatively steep, much steeper than in the lower *Mu-chu* valley.
We had 14.7 km. W. N. W. to *Camp CXLVII, Kyam-dam,* on *April 22nd,* and
descended 183 m., or to 5,050 m., being a rate of 1:80.
The Panorama 171, Tab. 31, taken from *Lapsen-tari* about halfway between
*Camps CXLVI* and *CXLVII,* is from three points of view of a certain interest.
To begin with, it has the unmistakable *Chang-tang* character, more flat, more open,
and with more distant views than the *Mu-chu* valley we have left behind. Secondly,
it gives a perspective, to the S. S. E., south and S. S. W., of the range we crossed
in the *Chesang-la*. Finally, it shows to the N. 55° W. the first glimpse one gets of
the *Targo-gangri* from this road. A photograph of the *»hla»* at *Lapsen-tari* with
a view to the N. 55° W. is to be found between pages 280 and 281 of Vol. III,
though the peaks of *Targo-gangri,* by reason of the great distance, do not appear
on the photo.
