200 SPORT IN CHANG-CHEN-MO 



steep, abrupt, stony, and difficult to climb. It is a good 

 find for Ovis ammon, and, at certain times, for wild yak. 

 (h) Yokma, the next valley, almost a half-moon in shape, 

 is barren and open, with little water and less grass ; game 

 is consequently rarely found here. 



(3) Keipsang, the next, is a narrow side valley. There 

 is a little grass along the course of the stream, above the 

 camping-place, for a couple of miles, where a travelling 

 wild yak may be found by the lucky sportsman, as 

 these animals pass along this path on their journey to 

 Gograng. I got my first yak at Keipsang. Antelope 

 may be found on the grassy plots and hillsides in the 

 lower part of the valley. Kiamgo Traggar is about 

 twenty-five miles in length. On the north the valley is 

 bounded by a range of mountains. Some of the short 

 side valleys running down south from this range contain 

 grass along their bottoms and on the slopes. A travelling- 

 path of wild yak runs along these slopes ; the grass is, of 

 course, the attraction. The southern slopes of the range 

 are therefore very good places for wild yak, at the proper 

 season. I got two here, and could, no doubt, have shot 

 more by staying on. 



(4) Tatta-Hor. The survey map before referred to is 

 at fault with regard to this valley also, and the mistake is 

 a greater one than that last mentioned. The name " Tatta- 

 Hor " does not appear at all, the valley seems to be wrongly 

 sketched in, and the watershed of this portion of Chang- 

 chen-mo has certainly been incorrectly laid down. The 

 sportsman will do well not to place too much reliance on 

 the map as regards this end of the valley, but, as there is 

 not much game in that direction, the error probably 

 will not affect him. With the exception of antelope, 

 which were in large numbers, game was scarce. I saw 

 only old traces of wild yak, and none at all of Ovis
