course, Tibet, and at its upper course, Cheker, Eskerdou and Tobbot, i. e. Little
Tibet and Skardo. Just south of the sources of the river is also the country, Tibet
Minus, and south of it again Mvs Tagi and Caschmir. Thus on this map, the
Mus-tagh, whatever may be meant by this word, is situated between Kashmir and
Baltistan, and Skardo is placed in Eastern Turkestan.¹ Between the sources of the
Khotan-daria and Kotomni f., there is a curious mountain range stretching S. W.—
N. E. and called Kirian M., probably Kilian-davan, or Keria-davan. Between the
middle courses of the same rivers is a lake called Anya L. Could it be a mistake
for Aneota or Anavatapta, a new manifestation of the Manasarovar? Several of
the names are obviously taken from D'ANVILLE. The latter has La ville de Hotom
ou Kotan on the Khotan-daria, called Hotomni-Solon Mouren by him, the end of
which he puts in the sands. To the east of the upper part of this river, he has
a lake Anja Nor south of which the Kirian M. is situated.

In 1718 the Jesuits in China delivered the new map of Tibet to the Emperor.
It had been surveyed by intelligent Lamas and checked with existing materials. In
Paris a copy of the same map was prepared for publication by d'Anville. The Lamas
had proceeded so far as to Manasarovar and Kailas, but they had not extended their
surveys to the Kara-korum regions which, therefore, are missing on d'Anville's map
(Pl. I, Vol. III). On the other hand, it seems obvious from his map that d'Anville,
either from the Lamas or from some other source, has obtained news of the
existence of a trade road between Ladak and Eastern Turkestan, a road that seems
to have been running east of the Kara-korum road, or between Rudok and Khotan,
for only between these two places have mountains been entered on the map, and
along with them the following names: Routou (Rudok), west of it Noupra M. (Nubra M.),
and S. W. Latatsi MM. which may be meant to be Ladaki MM. Then follows Dsarin
Nor, which, being N. W. of Rudok, may be the Panggong-tso or Niak-tso or any
of the lakes in the neighbourhood. The existence of the lake, at any rate, proves
that the road ran on the plateau-land from which there is no drainage to the
sea. Then follows Frontiere de Pouroun, which I cannot identify, unless it is a cor-
ruption of Rudok Pun or Governor of Rudok. Kenkri-Mouson indicates the highest
