372   BOGDANOVITCH, MEDLICOTT, BLANFORD, OLDHAM AND LÔCZY.

never been mentioned by HU C and GABET. Lôczy has theoretically entered on his map a range joining the Western Kwen-lun with the Tang-la, and diagonally crossing Tibet from W. N. W. to E. S. E. The Kara-korum is shown as a short range, hardly reaching the Ike-Namur-nor of the Chinese maps. Farther south we recognize the long ranges at the sides of NAIN-SING'S route. In the region which I explored on my journey 1906-08 Lôczy has only one range, passing along the southern shore of Dangra-yum-tso and called by him, sixteen years before I returned home, TransHimâlaya, a name which he, obviously, has got from GODWIN-AUSTEN and other British officers and geographers.' He has another range following along the northern bank of the Tsang-po. On his map the Kara-korum has no connection whatever with the Transhimalaya.

I I am sorry I did not notice the map of Loczy, which would have given me a strong support when I proposed the appellation Transhimalaya to the mountains north of the Tsangpo.
