PREFACE

Already in the Preface to Vol. I of this work I have expressed my sincere thanks to those gentlemen and scholars who assisted me in different branches of science, when Vols. I, II, III and V with maps and Atlas of Tibetan panoramas were elaborated, more especially my collaborators Professor ANDERS HENNIG, Professor NILS EKHOLM, Doctor K. G. OLSSON, Lieutenant C. J. OTTO KJELLSTRÖM and Colonel H. BYSTRÖM.

In the same way I feel it as a very agreeable duty to express my deep gratitude to my collaborators in the last five volumes of this work. Part III of Vol. VI has been worked out in the most unselfish and thorough manner by Professor C. H. OSTENFELD of Copenhagen who distributed certain parts of my botanical collection to other specialists, viz., Flowering Plants to Dr. L. DIELS, Dr. H. HARMS, Dr. R. PILGER and Dr. E. ULBRICH of Berlin, and to W. B. HEMSLEY and H. H. W. PEARSON of Kew ; Algæ to Professor N. WILLE of Christiania; Diatoms to F. HUSTEDT of Bremen and, finally, Mosses to Dr. V. F. BROTHERUS and Dr. N. BRYHN.

To the last chapter of Vol. VII, dealing with the Trigonometrical measurements of the highest peaks of the Transhimalaya I have had very valuable assistance by Professor KARL D. P. ROSEN and Colonel BYSTROM.

As to my collaborators in the last volumes of Southern Tibet I will have to return to them in the Preface to Vol. VIII.

The last sheet of this volume was already printed when STEIN'S standard work Serindia appeared. KOSLOFF is said to have published a new book on Tibet. Dr. EMIL TRINKLER of Munich has written a monographic description of Tibet which will be printed in Zeitschrift der Geographischen Gesellschaft, München. It is very well done and must be warmly recommended to students of the geography of High Asia. I have read it in type; its title is: Tibet, sein geographisches Bild

und seine Stellung im asiatischen Kontinent.
