486 Route of two Nepalese Embassies to Pekin. [No. 6. 



Kambala range, and north by the Nyenchhen thangla. Beyond the 

 last named great snowy range is situated the immense lake of 

 Nam tso which is said to bear the same relation to Northern Tibet 

 that the Yam do tso (Palte or Yarbrokyu) lake does to Southern. 

 The former is the Terkiri and Tengri nur* of our maps, as to which 

 maps we have the following further identifications. Ghamda = 

 Gyamda. Batang = Pathang. Rywadze = Eewiiche. Lari = Lha- 

 rmgo. Kiang, added to great rivers, = Gyarung. Eiver Takin = 

 Gyamo gnulchu, and river Yang-tse == Nya chu. Pampou of Hue 

 = Phemba : river and valley both so called. Galdeso river = Gal- 

 den, and is the east boundary of Phemba and Lhasa vallies as the 

 Tolong river is their western boundary.

* Nur is Turkic for lake as tso is Tibetan. Tengri nur, or celestial lake of the 

 former tongue, is an exact translation of Nam tso of the latter. The general pre- 

 valence of Turkic words in the geography of Northern Tibet more especially suffi- 

 ciently evinces the presence of that wide spread tribe in Tibet.
