In the *Alpine Journal* of Febr. 1903 Dr. A. Neve calls the Barmal Glacier
the great Western Glacier of Nun Kun. In his *Tourist's Guide* to Kashmir 1908,
p. 122 the same author says that Mr. BARTON and he, in 1902 discovered that the
Bhot Kol Glacier comes all the way from the Nun Kun Peak. In the *Alpine Journal*,
Febr. 1905, p. 250 he speaks of the Barmal Glacier as »the upper Bhot Kol Glacier»,
and in May 1908 he says the Barmal Glacier runs due west and joins the Bhot Kol.
The Workmans, however, found that the two glaciers are independent of each other,
and that the Ganri Glacier comes in between the highest part of the Nun Kun and
the upper part of the Barmal Glacier.
After some more ascents they crossed the Sentik La, 16,500 feet, and Sentik
Glacier, and finally returned to Suru. A good map is added to this as to earlier
narratives of the indefatigable American mountaineers. The photographs illustrating
the text are very instructive.
Regarding the snout of the Hasanabad Glacier different statements have been
given. In the Records of the Geological Survey of India Dr. H. H. HAYDEN said
he had been informed by the natives of an advance of several miles in 2¼ months.
He visited the snout in 1906. Two years later the same place was visited by
Dr. WORKMAN and proved not to have changed since Hayden's visit. He says the
form of this glacier makes it very sensitive, for the reservoir is very big and the
glacier narrow and short. The strong advance seemed to have taken place on
account of the stormy seasons of 1902 and 1903. In 1903 Dr. Workman »noticed
a similar advance of a large branch of the Chogo Lungma descending sharply from
the snowy Haramosh Mountains, which crowded the Chogo Lungma trunk bodily
over for a considerable distance against its left lateral moraines, from which, in
1902, it stood well removed».¹
In the summer of 1908 the Workmans went up to the village of Hispar. South
of this village is the Yengutsa Glacier, which in 1906 had been examined by
Dr. HAYDEN. He heard from the natives that in 1901 the glacier had suddenly
advanced with great rapidity a distance calculated by Hayden, from CONWAY'S map,
of two miles.²
The Hispar Glacier was found to have shrunk 30 feet in two years. The
WORKMANS ascended the Haigatum Glaciers to the neighbourhood of Nushik-la,
which from the Kero-lungma had been visited in 1861 by GODWIN-AUSTEN. Dr. NEVE
had tried it in 1896 from the same side but returned. The Workmans went up
to the Biafo-Hispar Watershed Peak, 21,351 feet, and to the Hispar Pass, 17,500
feet, from where the slope goes down to the Biafo Glacier. They also ascended
