Lhasa
Although Tibet is a large country, over 900 miles in its greatest length and over 800 miles in its greatest width, with a frontier of over 2,000 miles, very little was known about it before Sir Francis Younghusband's Expedition in 1903–4. The reason for this is its frontiers of high mountain ranges, some of them the highest in the world
Tables of Reference to Tibetan Dictionaries
THE great difficulty of the Tibetan language is the spelling. This may appear strange in a monosyllabic language, but is due to there being five Prefixes ( sngön-jug ), ga , da , ba , ma , ha , and four Head-Letters ( Go Yig ), ra , la , sa , which also precede the principal letter, and one subscribed letter, wa , which follows it, which are none of them sounded; and also that certain combinations of letters are pronounced differently to their sp…

My examination of the Patna coins was published in the Journal of the Bihar and Orissa Research Society , 1919, pp. 17–…
XXI. Examples of Tibetan Seals
In my paper on Tibetan Seals in the last number of this Journal (JRAS., 1915, p. 1) I regret that, owing to there not being time for a second revision of the proof, on account of my being in India, there are certain misprints, which I correct below. For 'abar in line 6 of the inscription of the seal on p. 7, read hbar . For the top word of the third column of the seal on p. 8, read . For the second word in the same column, read For the bottom wor…
I Examples of Tibetan Seals

But he gave no examples of the character

XXIX. The Tibetan Anatomical System
In the present article I give a translation and description of the anatomical chart kept in the Temple Medicine on the l Chags-po-ri (“Iron Hill”) at Lhasa which, together with its connected monastery, forms the medical college of Tibet. The chart demonstrates the Tibetan science of anatomy, and every Tibetan doctor taught his anatomy from it
