I will here only communi-cate some general facts, and will begin by citing the passesof first rank as watersheds, appending the names of thetravellers who have crossed some of them : Shiar-gang-la Shang-shung-Ia Dam-largen-la Guring-la Tsebo-la Shugu-la Khalamba-la Do.Sela-la Chang-la-Pod-laSha-laAngden-laTsalam-nakta-laDombc-laNakbo-kongdo-laSangmo-bertik-laSaggo-laDicha-laSamye-laDsalung-laLungmar-laPechen-la Krishna, 1881Hue, 1845Nain Sing, 1873Littledale, 1895 Pundit, 1872de Lesdain, 1905Hedin, 1907Hedin, 1907 Hedin, 1907 Hedin, 1908Hedin, 1908 16,903 feet.19,587 „ 17,200 „ 18,064 „ 18,284 „ 18,514 „ 19,095 ,.18,133 „
