1844.] and on Gerard's Account of Kundwar. 237 



or 4 miles above its junction with the Pitti, where there are sulphurous 

 hot springs on both sides of the river, (temperature about 120.) The 

 Chaladokpo is an inconsiderable rivulet, and docpo is indeed the word 

 for a brook or torrent. 



The Lee or Pitti,is composed of three principal branches only; 1st, 

 the Lossar or Pitti Proper ; 2nd, the Pin ; and 3rd, the Para, which is 

 nearly equal in volume to the united stream of the other two where it 

 joins them. The three streams are laid down with, I think, consider, 

 able accuracy in the map accompanying Moorcroft's Travels. 



Ti or Tee — ( Water). — From a valley to the south descended 

 the Gnuinthichu, a deep and rapid river. — Moorcroft, I. 209 — The 

 other (river,) the Kakthi. — Ditto, p. 214, which (river) then takes 

 the name of Sar or Lingti. — Ditto, p. 221, (and also in other 

 places.) 



In Kunawaree ti is water, and from the way in which the word is 

 used in the above quotations, it is probable it has the same meaning 

 in Kulu, (in which district Moorcroft was at the time.) Gnzun,p. 209, 

 is the name of a species of wild goat ; not however the skin or kin 

 of p. 311, vol. I. 



Lingti or Falung Dinda.— It (an insulated rock) is called Lingti 

 by the people of Kulu, and by those of Ludakh, Falung Dinda. — 

 Moorcroft, I. 220. 



Lingti is perhaps wrongly applied here; it is probably the Sar or 

 Lingti, p. 221. 



Lingti may be, water of separation — thus Ling seems to be used in 

 composition in Upper Kunawar, and the adjacent Bhotee districts 

 are equivalent to " side" in English : as " the north side," or " this 

 side ;" and in the same tract, the four cardinal points are called lingji. 

 Ti is most likely water ; see observations on the word. 



Falung means simply a large block, and dinda means, "even with," 

 so the term may be " the block even with boundary," or " the block 

 on the boundary." 



Climate. — Frost with snow and sleet commences early in September, 

 and continues with little intermission to the beginning of May. From 

 the middle of January to the beginning of February, we found the 

 thermometer out of doors at night seldom above 15°, and on the 1st 

 February, it was as low as 9^°, &c. &c. — Moorcroft, 11. 267, fyc.
