the valley floor is choked with waste from the moraine and the underlying rock. The difference in age between this gorge and that associated with the fourth
moraine appears greater than be
tween the gorges of the fourth and fifth moraines. This means that between the formation of successive moraines there must have been considerable intervals of erosion. Where the glacier stood

It may have retreated above the
position of the next moraine and again advanced; or it may merely have retreated to that position and there remained stationary.

valley was examined as far up as a modern moraine. The relations of the moraines are illustrated in the accompanying sketch map (fig. 136). At the head of the valley are two tiny glaciers, A and B, with little moraines, marked VI. Below these is another moraine, V, which seems to be a little older, but may be merely a stage of VI. In the next valley to the west is a cirque with a very young moraine, V', but no glacier. There is much snow near by, and these little moraines were not well seen. The next moraine, IV, is 500 or 600 feet lower, and is a large semicircular mass of clearly glacial origin. It is composed of limestone
*The Kirghiz call most of this stream the Ak Sai or White River, and apply the name Mudirum to the lower part only, but•the name Ak Sai is almost as common as Kuzzil Su, and as this Ak Sai empties into another Ak Sai, it seems better to use the less common name.
