to their actual sources, only one, namely, the Indus, appears in the three maps
we are discussing now. The Satlej which was clearly marked on the maps of
Gastaldi, Mercator, Ortelius and Hondius (1611), cannot be identified on the maps
of Blaeu and Janssonius. For on the easternmost river of Panjab, which should be
the Satlej, we find Chesimur, Kashmir. On Hoeius' map, Pl. XXVI, on the other
hand, Chesimur is located further south and at the west side of the Indus. At an
epoch when Ptolemy begins to fall in disgrace, Zaradrus fluvius is one of the treas-
ures he takes with him to the valley of oblivion, and it should take many years
before this river was restored to its right place.
As to the third river, Brahmaputra, there is even less sign of it on our three
maps than on Ptolemy's, and even Gastaldi's, unless the westernmost of the four
rivers coming from the Chiamay Lacus is an embryo of »Brahmas son«. But this is
a problem to which we shall have to return later on. For the present be it sufficient
to point out the important part played by this lake and its gigantic emissaries, form-
ing a combined lacustrine and fluviatile system which occupies a considerable area
of completely unknown country. In their desperate attempts to solve the question,
which, even in our days, has not been definitely settled about the courses and origin
of the Indo-Chinese rivers, the old geographers have saved themselves from the
dilemma by creating an enormous lake, a real »Mother of the Waters«.
On all three maps Aracam (Arakan) is placed on the Ganges; Verma on the
river from Chiamay lacus is Burma.
The mountains on the three maps are about the same. On Pl. XXVII they are
more collected together and forming more natural ranges. On Jansson's map (Pl. XXVIII)
the names Dalanguer and Naugracot are adopted. Perhaps Simau (Pl. XXVI), and
Simmau (Pl. XXVIII), is nothing but (Mon)s imau(s)? Otherwise the classical names are
rarely used on the maps, though Jansson cannot abandon them in the text to his atlas.¹
Proceeding from Janssonius 1641, Pl. XXVIII, to SANSON D'ABBEVILLE 1654
(Pl. XXIX)² we become aware of an enormous improvement. The Lac de Chiamay
is the same, but the whole hydrographical arrangement of the Ganges and the Indus
is changed in the right direction. The source of the Ganges is brought down from
48° N. lat. to 41°, and the source of the Indus is to be found in Rahia Tibbon,
probably the Raja of Tibet, i. e. Ladak, as it is north of Cassimere and its capital
