48 DUTREUIL DE RHINS. approximate and unreliable maps of those parts of Central Asia, which are situated south of the Tarim. In 1708, the Jesuit missionaries began their great work of correcting the old maps of Tibet and Tartary. For Tibet both the Jesuits and d'Anville used chiefly native information, as except this they had only a few positions given by Grueber and Dorville, and some information gathered by the Capuchins. Emperor Chien Lung ordered an Imperial Geography over his whole empire to be written, known as the Ta-ch'ing-i-i'ung chip, and first published in the year 1744. It is accompanied by the Ta-ch' inh Atlas of the Jesuits. From this work Amiot and Klaproth have made their translations. Then, after several years, Turner draws a real map of the part of the country he has seen, and de Rhins regards him as the man who inaugurates the modern era of exploration. In some of the Chinese quotations in de Rhins' book we get here and there a glimpse of Transhimalaya and chiefly of the parts situated north of Ngari and Manasarovar. Thus:' »Le Djedabouri — une des plus grandes montagnes de neige de la province de Ari est contigu à la précédente et s'étend à 240 li (53 milles) To this, again, de Rhins adds: »Résumant les données orographiques précédentes on voit qu'au nord de l'Indus et du Tsan-po, qui sont dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre entre le Ladak et les Djochot, deux chaînes principales et parallèles s'allongent dans la même direction (du nord-ouest au sud-est).» With our present knowledge it is impossible to identify the mountains men- tioned here. As they are said to be situated N.W. of Djochot, they seem to rise S.E. of my route from Nganglaring-tso to Tokchen and probably belong to the range to which I have given the same name as the pass Ding-la, a range which is the highest in this part of Transhimalaya.
