with the ranges drawn on Sheet XIV of the map in 1:1000000 showing the result
of my exploration in Central Transhimalaya.
RYDER's beautiful and important map of his exploration along the valley of
the Tsangpo, and of a part of which Pl. LXXIV is a reproduction, gives an idea of
the continuous range which was supposed to run along the northern side of the
Tsangpo valley as a sharp and marked natural boundary between this valley and
the Tibetan plateau-land which, on Ryder's map, with good reason is left absolutely
blank. To a traveller in the Tsangpo valley the mountains to the north indeed
make an impression as if they formed one single continuous range. But a traveller
crossing the Central Transhimalaya will easily find how erroneous this conception is.
