RICHTHOFEN COULD NOT ACCEPT SAUNDERS' OROGRAPHY.

299

It is surprising that he says, in connection with Shaw's discoveries:' Eine Hauptkette, für welche der Name Murtagh-Kette (statt Dapsang-Kette oder Karakorum-Gebirge) beibehalten werden sollte, fügt sich durch den Parallelismus ihres Streichens mit wachsender Sicherheit als ein Glied dem Himalaya-System an.

As to Saunders' map, Richthofen says it would take him too far to enter upon a criticism and discussion of the hypothetical representation it gives to the orographical development all the way from Assam to Northern China; which proves that Richthofen could not accept Saunders' orography. In a subsequent chapter we shall see,

however, that in certain points he agreed with Saunders.
