The difficulty in comparing the three latitudinal valleys becomes most evident
when we begin to deal with the absolute altitudes. In the northern valley we found
a fall of hardly 300 m. from Selling-tso to Panggong-tso, a distance of 930 km.;
in the second valley the fall to the west and east from the meridional range of
Targo-gangri is extremely slow. In both cases we meet the great evenness that is
characteristic of a plateau-land. In the Tsangpo valley we find a continuous fall
which, though very slow in itself, is considerable when compared with that of the
two northern valleys. It is therefore inadequate to talk of a mean altitude of this
valley, which east of Shigatse gradually assumes more and more of the wild mor-
phology of the peripheric regions. In the following examination I have entered some
of my altitudes along the Tsangpo from Changtang, opposite Shigatse, to the source
where the Kubi-tsangpo comes out from below the glacier snout. The five first alti-
tudes are from the lowest part of the course, the five next from the midst and the
five last from the uppermost part of the course.¹

The mean altitude thus is 4295 m., or 169 m. lower than the Selling-tso—
Panggong-tso depression and 397 m. below the Nganglaring-tso—Tengri-nor de-
pression. Taking the highest portion of the Tsangpo valley from the source to
Camp CXCII we get a mean altitude of 4689 m., which is nearly exactly the same
as that of the Nganglaring—Tengri-nor depression (4692 m.). This portion of the
