gol nomadic princes recognising the supremacy of China. The country of Tibet it-
self is removed to the east of the feeders of Amu-darya, where we still find many of
Goës' names, amongst them Parvan, which, together with Cabul, has been removed
in a most unfortunate way. In Tibet we find two places derived from Andrade and
Kircher, Radoc and Chaparangute. The feeders of the Ganges, which on Ludo-
uicus Georgius' map of 1584 were called Caradris and Beperi, now appear as
Candris and Baperi. On the latter, Goës' Hiarchen has got a more easterly position
than on Visscher's map. Casear, the town, is situated on the upper Amu-darya, as
on Sanson (Pl. XXX), while the country is east of the upper Ganges.¹ Yarkand is
therefore a town in Kashgar, which may be said to agree with Bernier's: »the King
of Kacheguer resides at Jourkend».

A new revelation is the Siba lacus, which acts as the source of the Candris
flu. The Ganges is thus shown as partly coming from a lake. Witsen's map is so
far in accordance with Andrade's narrative, that the Ganges and the river which
waters Tibet may be said to start from one and the same mountain near Caparan-
gue. And only there would the lake have been placed if Witsen had followed
Andrade's description. He quotes him in his text, where he says that, according to
Andrade, the source of the Ganges is always hidden under ice and snow, after which
the river bursts from Hardware through the province of Siba, but unfortunately he
does not tell us from where he has got his lake of Siba. However, he points out
the uncertainty prevailing as regards the source of the Ganges, and has preferred
to follow the example given by older authors. And he knows that the river, not
far from its source, flows over a rock with a Cow's head.²
