MAPS. 



1. A GENERAL MAP OF LOWER AND EASTERN BENGAL, WITH THE HIMALAYA AND 

 ADJACENT PROVINCES OF TIBET. 



The Tibetan portion of this map is to a great extent conjectural, and is intended to 

 convey a general idea of the arrangement of the mountains, according to the infor- 

 mation collected by Dr. Campbell and myself, and to show the position of the principal 

 groups of snowed peaks between the Yaru-tsampu and the plains of India, and their 

 relations to the water- shed of the Himalaya. 



The positions and direction of the minor spurs of the mountain ranges of Central 

 India and Behar are also, to a great extent, conjectural. It is particularly requisite 

 to observe, that the only object of this map is to give a better general idea of the 

 physical geography of South-eastern Tibet and Central India, from the materials at 

 my command, and hence to afford a better guide to the understanding of some of the 

 points I have attempted to explain in these volumes, than is obtainable from any map 

 with which I am acquainted. 



Above the map is a view of the Sikkim Himalaya, from Nango to Donkia, as seen 

 from Dorjiling. On the right are four views of celebrated mountains, as seen from 

 great distances : — 



1. CHUMULARI, FROM TONGLO. 



2. KINCHINJUNGA, FROM EAST NEPAL. 



3. DITTO FROM BHOMTSO IN TIBET. 



4. THE GHASSA MOUNTAINS, TIBET, FROM BHOMTSO IN TIBET. 



On the left is a survey of the moraines, &c, in the Yangma valley, as described in 

 vol. i. p. 231-238. 



I beg to return my acknowledgments to Mr. Petermann for the skill and care winch 

 he has devoted to the construction of this map. The scale is approximate only, and 

 perhaps very erroneous. 



2. GENERAL MAP OF SIKKIM, &C, FROM A SURVEY BY THE AUTHOR. 



On the cover of this work is a Sikkim chait of the ordinary construction, with a 

 pole, to which is attached a long narrow banner or strip of cotton cloth, inscribed with 

 Tibetan characters. 



On the back is a copy of the sacred sentence, " Om mani padmi om," in the 

 lichen character of Tibet.
