possibility of attacking K 2 from the N. E. Dr. Wessely and Dr. Jacot reached a height
of 22,000 feet. On July 12th Dr. Pfannl and Dr. Wessely made a last attempt
from a point on the principal ridge of K 2 and less than six km. from the peak K 2.
They had to return on account of Dr. Pfannl's illness, and the 22,000 feet remained
the record of the expedition. A little map of the regions round and N. E. of K 2
is connected with Conway's map.

Regarding the altitudes reached Dr. Pfannl says at another place:¹
Bei diesen Rekognoszierungen erreichte ich einmal 21,350', Dr. Wessely und Jacot
22,000'; schliesslich verlegten Dr. Wessely und ich unser Lager auf 6300 m . . . . oben blieb
das Wetter schlecht, so dass es zu keiner weiteren Unternehmung kam; haben wir den
Rekord mit damals 23,000' nicht gebrochen, so dürfte die Tatsache so langen Aufenthaltes
in so bedeutender Höhe wohl wichtiger sein als ein Vorprellen für Stunden oder Minuten
über eine zufällige Grenze.

On September 8th 1903, C. F. Ferber and E. Honigmann left Srinagar, and
took the road of Burji-la (4,850 m.), from where the Mustagh Range became visible
in the distance with Mango-Guser, Masherbrum, Mustagh Tower, K 2 and Gusherbrum.
From Deosai they travelled down the Indus valley to Skardo and Askole.² The great
range Kara-korum—Himalaya separates, according to Ferber, India, and specially
Kashmir from the interior of Asia, and has only two practicable passes. Over the
eastern one passes the road between Leh and Yarkand, the western one joins Gilgit
in Dardistan, viâ the Pamirs, with Kashgar. A third pass is the Mustagh-Pir be-
tween Skardo in Baltistan and Yarkand, which for generations has not been used.
Younghusband was the last to cross it, 1887.

The road went up the Biafo valley. In his narrative he only gives the names
used by the Balti natives, but adds within brackets the names to be found on Con-
way's map.

He has only noted reliable names, though the reliability is not absolute. Lümä
is valley, paró fireplace. Korofon was the first paró, beyond Bió (Biafo glacier),
Bardumal was the second paró. In the evening of the third day they camped a
little above Paju, at the foot of the Baltoro Glacier. This was the headquarters.
September 26th they began the wandering in the labyrinth of gravel on the Baltoro,
the length of which he estimates at about 50 km. The moraines looked old, here
and there covered with vegetation. They ascended along the left side of the glacier.
Liligo was the fourth paró. All the way to Ordokás they followed the left side.
The first side valley to the south or left side was Chober Zechen Luma (Liligua gl.).
The first side valley to the north or right side was the (Uli Biaho Luma), the second,
