CHAPTER VIII.
KARL HIMLY.
In the preceding chapters I have twice mentioned the mysterious road which, according to Chinese sources, in a comparatively late time joined Lhasa with Keriya and Khotan, thus crossing the most extensive and elevated highland in the world. In the Wei- Tsang -t'u-chih it is said that this road proceeds from Lhasa north-westwards through Nak-tsang, passes the mountain of Keriye-la and further through the desert of Gobi to Yarkiang (Yarkand). The whole region is said to be full of sand and stones; there is neither water nor vegetation. The natives call the region Gobi and Ola, or desert and mountains.
Quoting Dutreuil de Rhins' discussion of the Ta-ch'ing map we again return to this extraordinary road, of which Professor GEORG WEGENER tells us that it was opened by Emperor CHIEN LUNG as a trade road from Lhasa viâ Tengri-nor to Polu, Keriya and Khotan.'
KARL HIMLY gives us some information about this road, taken from a Chinese author, Sü Sung Sing Po who in the year 1817 had visited Ili and published his work in 1824.2 His description starts from the rivers and enumerates the places situated near them; he also deals with the history of the country. The work consists of five parts, each one with a map. In the introduction he describes the mountains situated between the sacred lakes of Tibet and Tian-shan, as well as the Hwangho and its supposed source branch the Tarim. Then follows the description of the Kashgar-darya, which is said to be formed by two branches, the Ulanussu or Kysyl-su and the Yaman-Yart-river. The joint river is called Thsung-LingPei-ho or Northern Thsung-Ling River, after the Kysyl-Yart range or Burrard's Kashgar Range, which in Chinese is called Thsung-Ling. The next river of the work is Yarkand-darya which, together with Tisnâf, is called Thsung-Ling-Nan-ho or the Southern Thsung-Ling River. Finally Yü-Tien-ho or Khotan-darya is men-
tioned.
