»dass der Hindu-Kho von Chitral and Kafiristan eine westliche Fortsetzung des
mächtigen, Tibet gegen Norden begrenzenden, das Meridian-Gebirge Bolor im Tsung-
ling durchsetzenden Küen-lün ist.» — Further: ¹ »Der Hindu-Kho oder indische
Kaukasus, eine Fortsetzung des nordtübetischen Küen-lün, westlich von der durch-
setzenden Meridiankette des Bolor. . . .» — And: ² »Die Bolor-Kette durchschneidet
den Hindu-Kho.» Humboldt identified the classic Imaus with his Bolor. ³ Sir R. J.
MURCHISON is right when he says in his address of 1858, that the feat of the Schlag-
intweits was to find north of the Kara-korum,
another parallel east and west range . . . . According to these travellers, this is the
Kuen Luen of Klaproth and Humboldt . . . . The Schlagintweits are the only geographers
who have visited those localities. They sustain, in fact, the view of Humboldt, and affirm
that his Kuen-Luen presents all the characters, relations, and altitude of an independent
chain, as laid down by that great geographer in his 'Asie Centrale'. 4
Therefore, and to recapitulate the chief results gained in our regions by the
SCHLAGINTWEITS, they proved that the Kwen-lun was a mountain system to the
north of the Kara-korum. The Kara-korum is the great water-parting of this part
of the continent. Rivers originating from it pierce the Kwen-lun to the north and
the Himalaya to the south. The Kara-korum is supposed to continue to 95° East.
The Kara-korum Pass is situated in the Kara-korum Range and not in the Kwen-
lun. The Kara-korum peaks are lower than those of the Himalaya, but its ridges
and passes higher. The name Kara-korum, which usually belonged only to the pass,
should be attributed to the whole range. The Kara-korum is called the main range
of High Asia. The plateaux are more extended on the northern than on the southern
side. The name Mus-tagh was found to be used only for the western portion of
the Kara-korum Range, and especially for the pass. The pioneer record of Dr. Thomson
was beaten beyond the pass to which he had reached, across the Kwen-lun to Yar-
kand and Kashgar in Eastern Turkestan.
