Speaking of ›the third explorer‹, the young Tibetan of 1871, Markham says:¹
›The explorer advanced north from Namling with the intention of crossing the range,
called by Hodgson the Ninjin-thangla, and of exploring the great Namcho Lake —
the Tengri-nor of d'Anville and the Chinese surveyors. The range was crossed by
the Khalamba-la Pass, 17 200, on the 8th of Jan. 1872.‹ Speaking of the results of
the three native surveyors Markham mentions ›the exact geographical knowledge
they have furnished us with respecting . . . the great chain forming the northern
boundary of the basin of the Upper Brahmaputra‹.
He has used the term range several times and finally calls the Nien-chen-
tang-la a chain. Thus he does not seem to make any difference between a range
and a chain. I do not know whether the two significations were specified in the
English geographical terminology of 1875. Even Frederic Drew who wrote in
this very year does not make the difference clear; he says: ›the quotation whether
two certain lines of mountain should or should not be counted to belong to the same
chain or range must depend on the definition you give to the words 'chain' and
'range'. It is conceivable that the definition might be different in the mouths of
the biologist, the meteorologist, the geologist, and the pure geographer. In any
case it would only be a difference of terms. I myself have been and am using the
word in the most restricted sense, as merely descriptive of the most patent facts.‹
At any rate he does not seem to include any morphological distinctions in the two
terms. With Markham the case is the same. So at this period the mountains north
of the Tsangpo were still regarded as a chain, as they had been ever since Klap-
roth, Ritter and Humboldt. Only d'Anville had been right in representing a great
number of ranges, that is to say, a mountain system. But d'Anville was not taken
seriously. His map more and more lost its importance and was regarded as a mere
object of curiosity.
The terms range and chain, and many other important matters, were discussed
in the following years, specially on account of a critical article: Trans-Himâlayan
Missions and their Results.² The anonymous reviewer seems to have been led
chiefly by political motives against Markham's proposal to open up trade and inter-
course with Tibet. In his Geographical Magazine Markham wrote a very able
and clever reply which is especially interesting to us, as it gives an idea of the general
geographical knowledge of the two systems: Himalaya and Transhimalaya as com-
pared with each other.³
Markham here proves that Captain Herbert, in 1818, from his experiences
between the Kali and the Satlej, was the first geographer who attempted to give a
general view of the orography of the Himalaya. Herbert was also the first to ob-
serve that the line of water-parting was not always synonymous with the line of
