Abstract
THE expedition to south-eastern Tibet which Mr. Ronald Kaulback describes in this volume started from Upper Burma in April 1935, and returned by way of Assam at the beginning of 1937. Of its twenty-two months duration, eighteen were spent within the borders of Tibet. The objective of the expedition was the exploration of the Nagong Chu valley, an affluent of the Brahmaputra, and the Brahmaputra-Salween watershed, as well as of so much of the course of the Salween as could be effected, with the upper waters of the Salween as the final goal. The project of exploring the hitherto unknown sources of the Salween had been formed by the author when a member of the Kingdon Ward expedition of 1933.
