CHAPTER XXXVII.

SOME REMARKS TO THE HEIGHTS AND DISTANCES.

A. VOLUME IV.

As an assistance to the readers of this volume and to the students of my maps and of the Meteorological Journal, I think it necessary to direct their attention to a few discrepancies and errors which it has not been possible to avoid in the course of the printing of this work.

On page 4 of the present volume I have given the height of Tankse as being 3,991 m., a figure which was calculated from the observations of my previous journey, or in I 901, and which was entered in the Meteorological Journal in my Scientific Results, Vol. V, Part I, a, p. 256. On Pl. 1 of my map, the height of the same place is 3,952 m. Taking the average of all my observations at Tankse, we get an altitude of 3,985 m., which has been entered on my Pl. 15, and in the Meteor. Journal, p. 8, and which may be regarded as the most correct.

P. 51 the height of Camp XIX is given as being 4,955 m. The Met. Journ. has 4,946 m. and regards the camp as situated 1 m. above the surface of the lake, Yeshil-köl. In the text I say it is 1 o or 15 m. above the surface of the lake. It is impossible to tell which of the two versions is the most likely. At any rate the difference is of no consequence. According to my observations Yeshil-köl is at an altitude of 4,945 m.

The height of the little threshold of September 27th is 5,095 m. in my text (p. 54) and on the map. In the Met. Journ. it has been changed to 5,080 m. Camp XX V is said (p. 56) to be at 6 m. above the surface of Pool-tso, though the Met. Journ. says it is only 1 m. above the lake. Both may be correct. The lake itself is at 5,077 m.

The pass near Camp LXVII has 5,169 m. By mistake my text attributes this altitude to the camp, which however, has only 5,167 m. The difference is only 2 m.

In the Meteorol. Journal Camp CCC has an altitude of 4,983 m. On the map, Pl. 16, it has 4,977 m. The latter figure is the better.

At Shemen-tso we find some discrepancies between the heights of my map and those of Professor EKHOLM in the Meteorol. Journal. Thus, on the map, the
