TIBET
THE SOURCES OF THE IRRAWADDY.
The Geographical Journal for April coutains an account of a journey through a portion of South Eastern Tibet and the Mishmi Hills by Captain F. M; Bailey. The portion, of the country explored in June, July and Augustlast year, was east of the Abor country and included Rima, of which we have recently heard,much. Captain Bailey journeed from Hunkow te Chengtu and thee to Tachienłu, Heroi, Litang and Baling, all over fair- ly well known ground. From Batang, with Mr. Edgar, of the China Inland Mission, he went to Tenching on the Mekong and in that mote district he found village schools where Tibetan child- ren are being taught by Chinese school- masters, attendance being compulsory, From this it is clear that Chinese influence must be increasing in the borderland; and Captain Bailey als instances the at- tempt being made to change Tibetan place names to Chinese, and compelling the people to take Chines personal names. At Yonching the travellers visited the sait wells. The brine is collected in circular pools about two feet deep and 3 or 4 yards in diameter. From thee it is takòn in birch bark buckets and poured into other and shallower pools underneath drying pans made of earth spread on wooden platforms, which in the distance look like the flat roofs of a large village. Here it is left till, some of the water having evaporated, it become stronger. This brine is then poured in the drying pans.

is mixed with it, and this gives the salt a dirty reddish, appieannce. It was here that. Major (now Colmel) H. R. Davies and his companions was tarned back in 1900.
From the Mekong the travellers set out for Menkong on the Salween, crossing the watershed between the two rivers at the Beda La, a height of 16,209 feet, shortly after meeting the Drayal Chu which flows into the Balween after "performing some wonderful -- geographical gymnastics. Here we are in country which A. K, ex- plored with his usual wonderful accuracy." The Salween, in these regions, like the Mekong at Yenching, is a swift, muddy river. Here Mr Edgar returned and Captain Bailey went alone going up a tributary which join the Salweon at Menkong. After crossing the No La (14,128 feet) he found that the streams flowed to a river in a galley lying north- cast and south-west and though the weather forebade accurate observatious,

Here the valley of the Irrawaddy is about 11,500 feet above sea level. He marched two days up the Irrawaddy and found there a large circular lake. Above this the main branch of the river was only about a yard wide and took its rise in the mow covered hills and the north of the pass (Tsong La). The water west of the Tong La joins with a stream which Bows de south and must be the headwaters of the Tarawan, which passing through Kant Long joins the Irrawaddy.
From the Irrawaddy he marched over. ground explored by K. in. 1882. to Drows Gompa and Bizden Gompa and then retracing his steps, reaching Rima on July 3. Of this place he writes: "I was much disappointed to find that bents were unknown here, a I had hoped to be able to replace mine which were quite worn out. I took two observations for altitude with the hypometer, and found it to be 4,830; A. K. made it 4,630 feet. Snow falls here in winter; the tem perature in the shade was 91 degrees at 4 pm and in a very open room by a window the minimum was 71 degrees at night. The inhabitants of Hima are different from those of the other parts of south-eastern Tibet through which had just passed. They eat their hair short and do not wear a queues elsewhere in south-eastern Tibat the people never smoke, though they uke quantities of snuff, but at Rima tobacco is both grown and smoked. The inhabitants of Rima are very much cut off from the rest of Tibet;
they never make the usual pilgrimage to Lhasa or other holy places, and, although professedly Buddhist, are very lax in their religion; when I was in pursuit of takin 1 saw a man sacrificing a fowl in order to bring him ek. The form of marriage among them that by capture; the bridegroom goes with his friends to the house of the brids, where the men of both parties quarrel and fight for a time; the quarrel is then made up, all feast to.. gether, and the couple are considered to be man and wife. I had noticed that the people of Sauga Chu Drong and at several other places wore costs made of the skins said to come from the neighbourhood of Rima. I made inquiries about this, and was told that these animals were plentiful in the hills down-strun from Rima."
After leaving Rim he came on a herd of about three hundred takin (Budorcas taxicolor) and shot seral, marching then to Tinne, where he heard of the murder. of Mr. Williarnson's party. From this onwards his progres lay down the Lohit, through the fishmi country and from thence to Sadiya.
Captain Bailey tight back a small collection of sixty bird skins, with the eggs of several species and the skins of a few mammals, besides about two thon sand specimens of butterflies, and two hundred moths. Amongst rare birds he secured the scimitar-babbler and chiff chaff, Szechenyi's pheasant grouse and other curiosities, white a mole-rat and a mouse rat amongst the mammals are new, and there are also averal new species of butterflies.
