SOME GERMAN MAPS OF TIBET.
I I7
(Pl. XVIII), on a reduced scale.' Klein Tibet or Little Tibet is, as on the original, placed at both sides of the Indus, whereas this country, on Arrowsmith's map of 801, Was placed to the west of the Indus. This map is accompanied by a special explanatory text.2
The well-drawn map of K. J. KIPPERLING published at Vienna in 1809 is, on the other hand, chiefly constructed after RENNELLS' originals, and is of no special interest to us, as it does not reach farther north than the sources of the TsangpoBrahmaputra.3 Nor have I reproduced the little map of C. G. REICHARD, 1819, the single thing of interest of which is that lake Manasarovar has the legend : See und Ursprung eines Arms des Indus.4
Pl. XX is a reproduction of Asien. Gezeichnet von S. M. F. Schmidt; zu
C. Ritter's Erdkunde, 1819. It shows an interesting attempt to join all the mountains surrounding Eastern Turkestan into one uninterrupted range, Mussart Gebirge to the north, Belur Tag to the west, Karangu Tag and Mus Tag oder Imaus to the south. Klein Tibet is bordered by Belur-, Karangu- and Mus Tag. Kantaisse Geb. is placed south of the joined Indus. The eastern and western branches of the Indus take their origin on the northern side of the Himlaya Gebirge. The source of the Tsang-po, on the other hand, is placed on the southern side of the Mus Tag. It is curious that the Imaus is identified with the Mus Tag and not with the »Himlaya».

About the same conception is to be found on another German map, Charte von Asien. Weimar, im Verlage des Geograph. Instituts, 18o6, — though on a reduced scale.
