and that the prolongation of this range to the N.E. was pierced by the Nak-chu
river. In this incorrect view Richthofen may, to some extent, have been influenced
by Saunders. It should be remembered that Richthofen regards the maps of Nain
Sing, Bower, Littledale and others as insufficient for clearing up the orography of
the parts of Tibet where these travellers have been. He could not be expected to
have contributed in any more essential way to the problem of the Transhimalaya
than Reclus, for both used the same material, although Richthofen digested it more
thoroughly.

Pl. XXIV is a part of the map of Central Asia which accompanies Vol. I of
Richthofen's China.¹ The ranges Richthofen places north of the upper Tsangpo he
reckons to the Himalayan System. Those situated north of the lower part of the
Tsangpo, from Shigatse and downwards, he reckons to the Sinian System. Between
Kyaring-tso and Tsangpo he has only one range. Between Dangra-yum-tso and
Tsangpo he has two. N.E. of the uppermost Tsangpo he has three ranges and
N.E. of Manasarovar he has four; the one situated nearest to the lakes he calls
Kailas, just as Burrard did some 30 years later. In the N.W. he has two Kara-korum
Ranges, both very short. Probably he regards the Aling Gangri as the continuation
of the southern one, though there is a great interruption between both, an interrup-
tion which certainly exists in reality. As to the 1, 2, 3, and 4 ranges north of
the Tsangpo, this orography is of course only conjectural. S.W. of Tengri-nor the
Sinian ranges come into contact with the Himalayan System and stretch to the N.E.
in the same way as we saw on Saunders' map.
