the slightest doubt about the mighty regularity and the eastward and westward
stretching of the range. Its N. W. part, along the east side of the valley of the
Buptsang-tsangpo, seems to be less certain. After an interruption formed by the
plain of Kebyang the range seems to continue N. W. along the western side of the
valley of Buptsang-tsangpo and then along the eastern or N.E. shores of Tarok-tso.
In this section of the range we find the names Gyägong-ri, Chokbo-ri and Elung-ri.

N. E. of Damche-la two high mountain groups are called Tsa-timyang-gangri
and Nakbo-gongrong-gangri. Farther east the range gradually changes its direction
to the north. As I have not crossed this part of Central Transhimalaya, but only
have seen it from afar, the orography as presented on the 1 : 1000000 map is
conjectural, and will certainly have to be much improved in the future. Gangri-do
was the name by which the natives called the high and steep mountains just west
of Shuru-tso. It is, however, possible that this name only appertains to a certain
region amongst these mountains. The Shuru Range is the appellation I have given
to the mountains west of Shuru-tso. But I cannot tell with certainty how the different
ranges in this region are arranged in relation to one another. It seems most probable
that the Rong-särchen-kang, Umbu, Gangri-do, Targo-rigüt and Targo-gangri form
the uninterrupted continuation of the Eastern Kanchung-gangri. Some informants
called the mountains along the whole western shore of the lake »Gangri-do», others
said that these were only a part of it, other regions, to the S.W., being called Gangri-
masa, and to the W. S. W. Tsari-nakpo. The following features seem to be certain:
West and S. W. of Targo-gangri is a very considerable and partly snow-covered
mountain range, the N.E. section of Lapchung-gangri. The latter is connected with
the Targo-gangri range by a mountain bridge carrying the pass Barong-la, Targo-
barong-la or Parung-la, famous in the region. So far as I could make out, this
pass is a comparatively flat threshold in a meridional valley between the two ranges.
The Lapchung and Kanchung-gangri Ranges are therefore, both in the east and
west, separated from one another by long open valleys. For, from my Camp 402
my guides showed to the N. 61° W. a low and flat threshold called Dicha-la. A
road crosses this pass and continues to the lower Buptsang-tsangpo following the
long-stretched tanga or plain situated between the two ranges.¹

The next mountain fold situated to the north and inside of the Lapchung
Range is too uncertain to be given a special designation. My meridional route from
Sangmo-bertik-la to Teri-nam-tso is here of no assistance, as it did not cross any
