The localities of the plants collected have been arranged chronologically in the
following enumeration wherein notes on the physical conditions, geographical
position, height above sea-level, date of collecting and other information are given.
1894.
*Little Kara-kul,* July 1894.
Little moraine lake, hardly 3½ km. from north to south, at the N. N. W. foot of
Mus-tagh-ata, Eastern Pamir; at its southern shore enters the brook of Sarik-kol in
several delta arms flowing across swampy meadows. Towards the south-eastern shore
runs a mountain ridge called Kara-kir which to the north and along the northern
shore is connected with old moraine ridges of gravel and sand, here and there inter-
rupted by grassy ground and meadows. Erratic blocks are often seen. Along the
western shore a mountain ridge is situated, though narrow meadows have space
enough at its base. Here also the ground is often swampy. There are many springs
at the shores and in the swamps. Moss is rather common on the moraines and
mountain slopes. At several places there are small lagoons along the shores.
At the northern shore a little brook issues from the lake and joins the river
Ike-bel-su. Along its banks are swampy meadows and small pools formed from springs.
N. W. of Little Kara-kul are the two lakelets Lower and Upper Basik-kul.
To the latter three valleys come down from the S. W. One of them is called
Kara-jilga, and has a little brook partly fed by springs.
Little Kara-kul has an absolute altitude of 3720 m. Upper Basik-kul is at
3727 m. The lower part of the valley of Kara-jilga is a few meters higher. Swampy
ground with grass is comparatively common in the last-mentioned valley and between
it and Basik-kul.
*The Korumde-glacier,* July 27th 1894.
This glacier issues from the *névés* of Mus-tagh-ata, and its snout points to the
north, in the direction of the river Ike-bel-su.
The snout of this glacier is on both sides, more especially the left or western
one, surrounded by moraines, consisting of gravel, blocks of all sizes, and sand. In
the depressions between the moraines and at protected places there is some vegetation.
The absolute altitude is 4367 m.
