The second panorama of the same day, 181, Tab. 33, was drawn from a point
8 km. S. 57° E. of *Camp CL*. It gives nearly the same aspect of *Targo-gangri,*
though some kilometers nearer, and it affords us with the first view we ever obtained
of the *Shuru-tso* Mountains, which by some Tibetans were called simply *Gangri-do*
and which seem to be a part of the Eastern *Lapchung Range*. A photo was
taken from the same point of these mountains (Vol. III, between p. 280 and 281).

The third panorama, 177, Tab. 32, is from *Camp CL,* and embraces the whole
view except *Targo-gangri* itself.

From a hill, *Nyemo-mari,* 4.2 km. north of *Camp CL,* Pan. 174, Tab. 31, was
sketched, giving a view of the whole *Targo-gangri*. From the same point, Pan. 176,
Tab. 32, is drawn, and a short distance south of it Pan. 175, Tab. 32, showing the
old beach-lines. In Vol. III, after p. 282 I have several photos of the *Targo-gangri* from
different points. Only on Pan. 174, *Dangra-yum-tso* was visible to the N. 20° W.,
but only as a thin, light line between the mountains.

According to the distances given above the whole second crossing of the
*Transhimalaya* was 223.3 km. in length. The result at which I arrived in 1912
from the construction map was 223.7 km.¹
