440 ECKENSTEIN, GUILLARMOD AND PFANNL. - FERBER AND HONIGMANN.
From the »Firnmulde» of the pass the fall of the Pir Glacier is very steep, while to the Chinese side the ice-filled valley has a gentle slope. The view in the latter direction was obstructed by a dark mountain massif. Of the New Mustagh Pass, which was said to exist to the west and to lead to the Punmah Glacier, nothing could be seen, and the Baltis knew only one pass of the famous name Mustagh. The plan of continuing the next days to Chang tok on the Chinese side could not be realized.'
I The same article : An Exploration of the Mustagh Pass in the Karakorum Himalayas, is printed in the Geogr. Journal, Vol. XXX, 1907, p. 63o-643, accompanied by a sketch-map of the Baltoro glacier and a special map of the Mustagh valley.
