1848.] Narrative of a Journey to Cho Lagan, fyc. 545 



4. Nabru, also on the south bank of the Gartokh Indus, between 

 Chumurthi and Gar. (?) 



5. Chajua, exclusively pastoral, in the west end of the valley of 

 the Shajjan Indus, east of Gartokh, or else in the lower (and southern) 

 part of the valley of the Rudukh Indus, north of Gartokh. With 

 regard to which Rudukh river, the Jwaris assert (positively), that it is 

 a distinct branch flowing past Rudukh from north and south, meeting 

 the Gartokh Indus near Tashigang, a day or two below Gargunsa, 

 whence the united river runs north-westward to Le, &c, and not, as 

 existing maps have it, the lower part merely of the Gartokh river be- 

 fore its entrance into Ladak ; but this is doubtful, as others assert as 

 positively the opposite. 



6. Bongba (or Bongbwa) Tal, further east up the Shajjan valley 

 and north of the Gnari mountains ; consisting of two divisions, viz. 

 Bongmeth, that is, lower, and 



7. Bong-toth, that is, upper Bong, the two being under separate 

 Pun; one of my informants says that one or other of the Bong Tal is 

 south of the Gnari range, on the east of the province, but Bhauna's 

 version of A.ngil's note makes this Bang, distinct from Bong, which 

 he also duly mentions as north of Gnari, and the residence of the 

 Bok-pa, who are the carriers of the Salt and Borax from regions fur- 

 ther north. Bongbwa Tal is a pastoral district, without villages. 



8. Hor Tal, a pastoral district without villages, lying east of Cho- 

 Mapan, between the Gnagri mountains and the Nipal Himalaya, said 

 to communicate by an easy pass (or passes) with Jumla, direct, with- 

 out intervention of Humla, from which circumstance may be gathered 

 this fact, viz. that the main ridge of the Nipal Himalaya continues to 

 make a great deal of southing far east from Momonangli, and much 

 further than I could see any thing of it, in the course of my route to 

 the lakes and Pruang. 



9. Toiyon. 



10. Kiron. 



11. Tidy; these three are circles of villages, as before described, 

 in the valley of Pruang ; and their headmen have the title of Makh- 

 pan, which is of military origin. 



12. Kyungbuchya, the environs of Daba. 



13. Tashikhausar, of Chaprang; and 14, Rakshyanonu, on the
