1848.] Itinerary from Pharl in Thibet, to Lassa. 273 



The snowy range is here, no doubt, broken with inner and outer ridges, 

 whereof Chumalari is (for us) the inner and apparently the most elevate, 

 though Cholo is also of vast elevation. From Chumalari the rivers of the 

 route flow south to India and north to the Sanpii. Klaproth's Bainom- 

 tchu is the Painomchu of our maps, which however sometimes confound 

 it with the Pa or Gaddada of Rangpur, whereas the Bainomchu runs 

 due north to Giangchi and N. W. thence unto the Sanpii at Digarchi. 

 The La Lung, Jung and Nian or Nan, which occur in the route, 

 according to Klaproth, between Giangchi and Nagarchi, are not identi- 

 fiable with any thing noted in the Itinerary, which however exhibits 

 several small streams in similar positions. — B. H. Hodgson,
