1854 Sikkim map from Hooker's Himalayan Journals
Notes:
The ranges E. of Pundim & W. of the Lachen River have not been visited, nor the E. heads of G. Rungeet.
Bhomtso (Thibet) was well determined from bearings of K'junga. Dn 2 & Chumalari, but the summit of Donkiah was not recognized from any point near the heads of Lachen and Lachoong. The positiosn of the Snowy Peaks &c threreabouts may be 1 or 2 miles wrong in position.
The position Tukchawm also requires confirmation to 2 miles.
The route & positions from Tumloong to Cheadam are but approximates, owing to circumstances over which I had no control.
The country W. of Gipmochi, position of Yakla Pass, frontier of Sikkim S. of Chola and lower course of Teesta River are unknown.
