and Mawaralnara. West of the range Sacritma is the country Sarcil with the places;
Sarcil, Serpanil, Ciaciunor, Chaman and other names taken from Goës, whilst his
Iaconich is east of the same range. Between Raia Tibbon and the southern end of
Sacritma M., he has a continuous range.

Nicolaes Witsen, 1687, has tried to bring Goës into harmony with earlier
notions. East of the Upper Ganges we find Caucasi montes and, north of them, Consangui
mons lapideus. N. W. of the latter, is Gecialath mons from which one of the feeders
of the Ganges takes its rise. At the source of the western-most feeder, is
Chaparangute, and west of it a mighty range of mountains, partly called Tapüli
montes. South of the latter, is Iaconich, and south of this, Cascar and Egriar.

From the middle of the 17th century, is De Witt's map showing, to the
north of Cassimere, Rahia Tibbon, the latter being separated from the sources of
the Amu-daria by a range which continues far to the N. N. E., and is placed east
of Iaconich, Cascar and Egriar and south of Thibeti Reg.

Coronelli, 1695, enters the mountains on his map in the form of dotted
lines, the one north of India being Monti Cocas, or Caucasus and having to its north,
Thibet, Vachun and Turquestan. North of Thibet is a nameless range, being the
southern boundary of Regno di Cascar, where Iaconich is found S. S. W. of the
town, Cascar.
