 Note. — The spelling of all names on this route is 

 given under reserve, they having been furnished 

 me by a Chinese merchant of Atentse ; and the 

 Chinese generally disfigure Thibetan names by 

 their bad pronunciation. 

 This Thibetan village is situated at the confluence of two 

 branches of the river Lili. On the right flank of the 

 northern branch is cut a good road leading to Tsarong 

 and touching the .Salwen at Lakonra. [N. 60 \\'.] 

 Above Toulong in ascending the Kiou-kiang the follow- 

 ing places are found : — Mambili, Temedam, Kensoum 

 (left bank), Serawan (right bank), Chia-keu (left bank). 

 The inhabitants are Kioutses. 

 From Toulong to Chia-keu, 3 days. As far as Kensoum the 

 district pays tribute to the Yetche Mokoua. Serawan and 

 Chia-keu are under the authority of the Kampo Mokoua.
