des Mazures are very forcible. Did I tell you that we were informed in Burmese Laos that the Irawadi continued northward as a great river, which the Laotians call the Nam-mao, and which they distinguish from the Nam-Biim and the Nam-Kiii (Myit-ngfe ' Letter, dated April 17, 1873, to the present writer. GEOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION. [107] and Myit-gyi)/ The Nam-mao appears to be the Kuts' Kiang. .... I desire to avoid forming a theory, even in my own mind, for nothing hoodwinks a traveller like the... adoption of a precon- ceived idea, .... but I repeat as regards the Brahmaputra the probabilities require to be corroborated by material demon- stration. The south-eastern region of Tibet, as far as we could judge on our approach to Li-kiang-fu and Tali, is a country full of surprises. The rivers vanish and appear again. A stream will bifurcate, and, by help of the caverns which abound in that limestone formation, the two branches will sometimes change from one basin into another, discharging into» two different rivers.
