several other ridges and backs, and beyond it lies the town of Anarek. To the east and a little north, the Busurgi chain shows dark and gloomy ; it looks much lower than from the Kevir, because, from the salt desert, we saw all its screes foreshortened, while now that we are on the plateau extending between Busurgi and the Anarek hill, the relative difference of height is less and the chain is
