272 Itinerary from Phari in Thibet, to Lassa. [April, 



and W. (from Jagagunggar to Digarchi) only treading a little to the 

 north ; and he makes the Sanpu hold a parallel course, excepting the 

 sinuosities of the river. Digarchi is placed by Klaproth on the right 

 and south bank, and the river runs north of the town in an even eastern 

 direction. There is another range, according to Klaproth, north of the 

 river, which also is more or less parallel to its course. The Peaks of 

 this northern range are called Sung Sung, Bukori, Nam, &c. The 

 Kambo or Gamba range does not run southwards nor terminate at the 

 great lake, nor can it be the boundary of the U' and Tsang provinces. 

 A continuation of it, however, running from Jamalung to the lake is 

 meridional or follows a south direction, and seems to end at the lake, 

 though Klaproth carries it much further south, viz. to D6d, under the 

 name of Ganglagangri. This portion of the range may mark the 

 boundary of the two great provinces. But the route, according to Klap- 

 roth, leaves it far on the right and crosses it where it has a W. and E. 

 course parallel to the great river. 



Towns. 



Dr. Campbell's Giangtche is the Dzialdze of Klaproth, and both 

 place it at the bifurcation of the Digarchi and Lassa roads. But it is 

 Dr. Campbell's 12th and Klaproth' s 9th stage. The other chief places 

 on or near the route, in Klaproth, are Nagardze, on, Runbung, off, 

 Baidi, off, Chuchar, on, and Dunggar, on, the way. Of these the first 

 is Dr. Campbell's Nagarchi : the rest occur not in his Itinerary. I 

 have noted, at the foot of each page, as a note, the coincidences all along 

 where such occur between Klaproth and Dr. Campbell. 



Rivers. 



West considerably of the route and of Phari, Klaproth has several 

 streams, viz. Nio, Piing, Ghi, La, and G6, all of which unite to form 

 the Tchangtchu or river Tchang. This is the Changchoo of the Itine- 

 rary, quoad name, but not quoad position. And the Pa of Klaproth is 

 probably the Ma of the Itinerary, though there again the position of the 

 stream cannot be reconciled. I have remarked as a note, on the name 

 Changchu, and also observed on the vague cluster of feeders arrayed by 

 Klaproth, all which seem identifiable with the Ma, whose remotest 

 sources are under the great peak of Cholo, whence the Itinerary gives 

 it 10 stages through Thibet to Phari. Klaproth makes Chumalari, not 

 Rimachal, the great water shed of this part of Thibet : so also Turner.
