In another book which was written by the elder PETIS DE LA CROIX who
died in 1695, but which was published in English in 1722, and accompanied by a
map of Delisle, we are astonished to see that no other authors are consulted on
matters Tibetan, than the Arabs.¹ The author believes that the »reader will be glad
to know some particular account of Tebet›, which is situated between 30 and 40°
of Lat., and between 100 and 110° of Long., »according to the situation, given it
by the Eastern Geographers». — »It contains part of the Region called Turc-Hinde,
because it is a part of Turquestan on the one side, and of India on the other. Some
divide it into two Parts, calling it the Great and Lesser Tebet. The Great borders
on China, the Less is situate to the East of the little Kingdom of Kaschemire, just
behind the Mountains; and they are both but six Weeks Journey over. This Country
is full of Towns and Villages well inhabited; the People are so good humour'd and
chearful, that they breathe nothing but Joy and Pleasure. But what is most sur-
prising, is, that there is a Mountain called Jabal Assumoum ('the Mount of Poison'),
which inspires all those with Melancholy who come near enough but to smell it,
nay, even turns their Tongues black, in such a manner, that they remain black all
the rest of their Lives.» Then follows the ordinary story of the musk and rhubarb.
Of the Jaxartes or Sihon he knows that it has two sources in Mount Imaus, and
falls into the Caspian Sea.²
It is in vain that one reads through the many volumes of »Recueil des Voyages
qui ont servi a l'etablissement et aux progrez de la Compagnie des Indes Orien-
tales»,³ for there is not a word about the interior of the country. The musk trade
is described, as it was carried on in Goa, and it is said to come from Tartary
through China. When Mount Caucasus is once mentioned, the quotation is from
Pliny. The whole collection is nothing but capes, islands, ports, ships, coasts, seas,
