impression of the Lunkar Range, and shows that it has a bastion of rounded hills
and ramifications at its N. E. base. At some places high snow-covered peaks rise
above these hills, and to the N. W. we see its slopes and ramifications in a fore-
shortened perspective. To the S. 20° E. we catch a first glimpse of one of the
highest peaks of the Lunpo-gangri, or Lombo-kangra as we heard it called, from
the south.

Following the Buptsang-tsangpo upwards, on April 8th, 13.9 km. S. S. E. to
Camp CCCLXXVI, Amchung, we ascend only 13 m. or to 4,835 m., the rate thus
being 1:1,069 only. Pan. 455, Tab. 85, shows a new aspect of the Lunkar Range
with some of its mighty snow-covered peaks, and to the S. S. E., our further way
up to the continental water-parting.

The 9.6 km., covered on April 9th, take us S. S. E. to Camp CCCLXXVII,
where the height is 4,883 m., a rise of 48 m. and a rate of 1:200. From the new
camp a new panorama, 456, Tab. 85, was sketched, giving a new view of the mighty
Lunkar-gangri and showing its ramifications to the N. W. as in profile. To the
S. 23° E. the highest peak of the Lunpo-gangri, just appears above the horizon.

The next day's march, April 10th, proceeds S. S. E. and S. E. for 13.7 km. to
Camp CCCLXXVIII at an altitude of 4,905 m., or 22 m. above the previous camp,
being a rise of 1:623. Pan. 458A, B and C, Tab. 86, taken from the last-mentioned
camp, is very instructive, as it commands two mighty mountain systems of the Trans-
himalaya. To the S. 18° E. we have the steep and high peak of the Lunpo-gangri
group, and S. 14° E. its more flat neighbour. To the S. W., west and N. W. is the
Lunkar Range, its highest crest being hidden by lower nearer hills. To the N. 19° W.
is the valley of the Buptsang-tsangpo. From N. 5° E. to N. E., east and S. E. are
mighty snow-covered peaks of the Kanchung-gangri, the range on the right or eastern
side of the valley of the Buptsang-tsangpo.

The road to Camp CCCLXXIX, Bupyung-ring, at an altitude of 4,911 m.,
proceeds, April 11th, 13.8 km. S. S. E. The rise is, therefore, only 6 m. and the
rate 1:2,300. It is interesting to notice the extremely flat gradient in the valleys
between the parallel ranges of the Transhimalaya. The panorama, 461A and B,
Tab. 87, from the last camp, is important. It shows to the W. N. W., parts of the
Lunkar Range, to the N. 25° W., the valley of the Buptsang-tsangpo, to the north,
east and S. E., parts of the Kanchung-gangri, to the S. 13° E., the steep peak of
Lunpo-gangri, to the S. 5° E., S. 9° W. and S. 29° W., other peaks of the same
group, and to the S. W., hills hiding the Lunkar Range. In Vol. III, p. 318 the
second watercolour panorama is also taken from Camp CCCLXXIX. Both were
taken at the spot, the black one on April 11th, the coloured, April 12th. The
latter is, therefore, not simply a copy of the first, and the colours are as near the
real colours in clear weather as I could come.
