The head of the glen is barred by an immense crest. The highest parts were in places streaked with thin strips of snow, probably only one night old. On the whole this part of the Astin-tagh extends towards the south-west and west-south-west, forming the south-eastern border of the mountain-ranges that encircle the Tarim basin. The watercourses which we crossed over were thus directed towards the north-west. The only one that succeeds in accomplishing its course is the Tscharklik-

As for the part of the stream which actually forces its way through the lower Astin-tagh, I was unable to obtain any reliable information about it. The natives never travel that way; indeed they look upon it as impassable. It may however safely be assumed, that the narrow gorge is so far choked with gravel and stones that the only time at which it can at all be traversed is in
winter, and then only on foot.
