range from west to east, have been dissolved into many ramifications and systems
in different directions, is *Tertia Pars Asiae*, by JACOPO GASTALDI, 1561. On this
map there is a double, though still very narrow range, separating India from Diserto
de Camul. To the west, where in reality the great Kara-korum System, the Pamirs,
Badakhshan, Chitral, etc. are situated, it widens out to a fan of ranges. Instead of
the classical names, we find the appellations Monte Vssonte, Monte Naugracot and
Monte Dangver, the latter, though belonging to the Himalaya, most of all approaching
our Kara-korum.

On GERHARD MERCATOR'S map of 1569, we find an attempt to reconcile
Ptolemy with modern discoveries. The Ranges of Ptolemy may easily be recognized:
the great range and its ramifications, amongst others, the meridional Imaus and the
meridional range west of it. There are less traces of the Kara-korum than on
Gastaldi eight years previous.

ORTELIUS, on his *Tartariae sive Magni Chami Regni typus* 1570, has marked
the whole of High Asia as a long latitudinal range, Imaus mons qui & Caucasus or
Monte Dalanguer and Monte Vssonte. East and S. E. of it, he has the province of
Thebet. Here also M. Dalanguer, as may be seen on Pl. XXIII, Vol. I, takes us to
the vicinity of the Kara-korum.

Herewith it has been stated that in the course of the 16th century, there is
no sign of the Kara-korum Mountains on any European map.
