424   THE GLACIATION. KRAPOTKIN. SOME RECENT EXPEDITIONS.

July I 7th 1906 Mr. CALVERT crossed the frontier to Shipki and proceeded to Gartok viä the Chumurti Plain. August 2 oth he set off for the goldfields, and reached Chukang on the Indus by a hitherto unknown route. Thok Jalung he found deserted. He was the first European to reach the place. On the return journey he visited Rudok. I have not been able to find a more detailed description of this most interesting and clever journey.'

From these general descriptions of the physical and orographical geography of High Asia we have again to direct our attention to a few exploring expeditions in the Kara-korum System.
