Kiaz (?) and the Chahlung (Charlung, Chahrlung or Charling), which »ought to have been running from east to west», instead of west to east.' The next place we may identify is Cheile Gombaz (Chil-gumbes), which also had been visited by Young-husband. From there he crossed a pass called Tirak Pass (Ter-art). His altitudes are usually t o0 or i 5o m. too high. From Chil-gumbes to Pas-rabal he no doubt followed the same road as I have described above, for he says : »we followed for about two miles the course of the Tikka Sikrik (Teke-sekerik) river until we debouched into a broader valley, striking the Bramsal (Boramsal) river at right angles, running south-east. We followed that for about four miles, until its junction with the Toilobolong (Toile-bulung), at a green spot called P.ahsl Robed ....» Later on he crossed the pass of Yambulak and arrived at the Chichiklik Plain. The Kokmainuk Pass (Kala-kok.. noinak) he gives as 4,9 18 m. It is a pity that Major RUCHE, who accompanied him, did not make a map of the interesting road.
