Abstract
EASTERN Tibet remains the least known part of Asia in spite of its exceptionally interesting problems. An important contribution to its geography has now been made as one of the indirect results of the British expedition to Lhasa in 1904. The Chinese then feared the annexation of Tibet to India, and to avert this danger immediately sent an agent to Eastern Tibet; in the following year, this “Amban “and his escort were massacred, and several French missionaries were murdered at their stations along the Tibetan frontier. To suppress the revolt Chao-erh-feng invaded the country, and Chinese authority was established and agents reinstalled in Lhasa.
