time he was south of the Kara-korum and far to the west of the Biafo and Chogo
Ganse glaciers.¹

The map illustrating Hayward's letters has the title: Sketch Map of the
Trans-Indus Countries including Gilgit, Dilail, Yassin &c. by Geo. J. W. Hay-
ward, and is reproduced here as Pl. LVII. The Kara-korum is running W. N.W.—E. S. E.
and is, in the west, in connection with the Hindu-kush. A series of passes well-
known in our days, are entered. To the north of the range is Sarikol with Tash
Kurgan and its river, the feeders of which cross the district of Gundrab, i. e. Khun-
serab. Later exploration would prove that the orography was more complicated in
this region.

In his Report of The Mirza's Exploration from Caubul to Kashgar² Major
MONTGOMERIE has given a very able résumé of what was known of these regions,
although we do not need enter upon it here.³ He chiefly touches districts situated
»beyond the Hindoo Koosh, Mustagh, and Karakoram ranges, which may be con-
sidered as a continuation of the great Himalayan system». The Mirza's route gives
Montgomerie a determination of the great watershed which separates Eastern Turkestan
from the basins of the Indus and the Oxus. He says: »This new determination
confirms the opinion that I have held for many years, that the said watershed continues
to run northwest from the Mustagh. — A conclusion which I came to from the positions
of many gigantic peaks fixed by the survey to the north-west of the Mustagh, which
peaks, though probably not on the watershed, doubtless indicate its general direction.»
On the map illustrating his paper, Montgomerie has the Kara-korum Range as a
very sharp ridge between the Mustag Pass and the Kara-koram Pass.⁴ From the
Mustagh Pass the Mustagh Range runs to the N. W. as an immediate continuation
of, and just as sharply demarcated as, the Kara-korum. On this map also some of
the ranges belonging to Eastern Pamir begin to make their appearance, and the
days of the Bolor or Belur-tagh are gone.

In 1871 Dr. PETERMANN brought together all that was known of these regions
and published an article: Ost-Turkestan und seine Grenzgebirge, nach Hayward,
Shaw, Forsyth und anderen neueren Reisenden.⁵ Of special interest is the map of
what he calls the grandest mountainknot in the world.⁶ It is a hypsometrical map
in different colours for different heights. In the west he has the Kisil Yart Kette
