N. 48° W. the *Kichen-talung-changri* is again in sight. To the N. N. E. is the
range *Lombo* and to the N. E. *Tsopti*.
The march of *May 23rd*, took us through a complicated region. First we
had 3.4 km. S. W. to *Kichung-la*, 5,504 m. high, a rise of 306 m. at a rate of 1:11.
Then we had 3 km. undulated high-alpine ground, descending to a brook, ascend-
ing to a second pass of 5,480 m., and then up to a third pass, *Kanglung-la*, of
5,528 m. Finally 3 km. W. N. W. to *Camp CLXIV, Lungle*, which is at 5,251 m.
or 277 m. lower, a rate of fall as 1:10.8. A series of small panoramas were drawn.
Pan. 203, Tab. 37, is from *Kichung-la* to the E. N. E. and east over a hopeless
labyrinth of mountains more like a stormy sea. From the same pass a more elaborate
panorama, 204, Tab. 37, embraces the whole group of *Chomo-uchong* with culminating
peaks to the S. 34° W., S. 55° W., S. 75° W., S. 86° W., N. 87° W. It should be
compared with a photo on the opposite page. Pan. 201, Tab. 37, is taken from
the second pass, looking back to the *Kichung-la* S. 87° E., S. E. and S. S. E. Pan. 199,
Tab. 36, is from *Kanglung-la* with, to the N. 60° W., the valley down to *Lungla*
amongst waves of mountains. Finally Pan. 200, Tab. 36, taken from Camp *Lungle*,
shows to the S. S. W. and S. W. some of the high peaks of *Chomo-uchong*, and to
the N. 61° W. the *Rongchen* valley going down. I think it is no exaggeration to
say that these panoramas tell a good deal more than the map, or rather, that the
map is a lifeless record if it is not assisted by these landscape views.
On *May 24th*, we go down 14.5 km. W. N. W. and S. S. W. to *Camp CLXV,
Pang-satak*, with an altitude of 4,916 m. The fall is 335 m. and the rate 1:43.3. The
next day's march was 7 km. in length to *Camp CLXVI, Basang*, where the height
was 4,796 m. The fall is 120 m., the rate 1:58, and the direction S. W. Pan. 208,
Tab. 38, is taken from *Basang*. Its most interesting part is Mount *Lumbo-taktsen*,
which is a part of *Chomo-uchong*.
On *May 27th*, the march goes S. S. W. in a nearly straight line crossing the
*Sa-chu* which is a left tributary to the *Chaktak-tsangpo*, and ascending the *Gyä-
buk-la*, 4,823 m. high. The distance to the pass being 8.9 km., and the rise only
27 m., the rate is 1:329. On the southern side we had 6.8 km. to *Camp CLXVII,
Kyärkyä*, 4,575 m. high, or a descent of 248 m. at a rate of 1:27.4. Pan. 206,
Tab. 37, from *Gyäbuk-la*, shows the mountains to the north and south, and in the
middle, a new aspect of the *Chomo-uchong* with three pyramidal peaks, *viz.*, N. 45° E.
the *Lumbo-taktsen*, N. 55° E. the *Tsummo*, and N. 60° E. the *Chomo-uchong* proper.
The last march, *May 28th*, is 10.8 km. south and west, first going down the
*Kyärkyä* valley and then ascending along the northern bank of the great *Tsangpo*
to the confluence of the *Chaktak-tsangpo*, at *Camp CLXVIII*. From a slope close
upon the latter camp, Pan. 207, Tab. 37, was sketched showing the appearance of
the mountains around the confluence of the two rivers. To the S. 61° E. the great
45. IV.
