its northward base by the Indus«, all our knowledge ceases. But from information
and conclusions he is pretty sure of the existence of »still loftier ranges, the nature

northern ranges the eternal snow must be repelled to incredible height as the pre-
cipitation must be minimal from skies almost bare of clouds, a supposition in which
he is right only to a certain extent. ¹
