between the Kailas and the Kuen Lun ranges two primary ranges, the Karakoram and
the Aghil: on the east we have five, the Lani, the Ninchinthangla, the Tangla, the
Dungbura and the Kokoshili.... How the two become five, or whether there are
not more than five we do not know.»¹ The ranges of Eastern Tibet are indeed
more numerous. Disregarding those ranges which belong to the Kwen-lun System,
namely Astin-tagh, Akato-tagh, Chimen-tagh, Ara-tagh, Kalta-alaghan, and the several
Arka-tagh Ranges, in all ten ranges, we have sixteen more ranges down to 311° N.,
which I crossed in 1901, namely two Koko-shili Ranges, three Dungbure, one Buka-
magna, three Tang-la Ranges, and seven Chang Ranges.² On a sketch-map I laid
down these ranges so far as they could be followed when all the material existing
then was used. Some of these ranges seem to disappear as they proceed westward, the
first at 86° E., others at 84°, 82° and 80°, approximately. The Kara-korum Ranges, as
said before, no doubt continue through the southern half of Tibet, whereas the relation
between the Aghil Range and other ranges north of it, — and the Arka-tagh and other
ranges, near it, will be extremely difficult to clear up, at the present moment even im-
possible, as the country just north of the central section of WELLBY'S route is unknown.
Under the heading Prolongation of the Kara-korum in Tibet BURRARD
further says:³
The prolongation on the frontispiece (chart) of the Karakoram range and its
conjunction in longitude 92° with the Ninchinthangla are hypothetical. We do not yet
know that the Karakoram range does continue eastwards through Tibet, and even if it
be proved to do so, it may be found to connect with the Tangla range north of latitude 32°,
and not with the Ninchin-thangla. Observers of the Himalaya, the Ladak and the Kailas
ranges have been impressed with their apparent continuity, and it is perhaps natural that
we should seek for the prolongation of the gigantic Karakoram: the prolongation, however,
as entered on the chart, is intended to suggest only the possibility of continuity, and must
not be accepted as fact.
His representation of the Tibetan stretching of the Kara-korum, Burrard has
based upon the PUNDITS' observations from 1867 and upon NAIN SING'S snowy
range south of this route in 1874. The Ladak Range goes between the Indus and
the Panggong-tso, and Burrard suggests that possibly the Kailas Range also passes
between them. »The Aling Kangri peaks are now believed to stand considerably north
of the Kailas and Ladak Ranges, and to mark perhaps the continuation of the Kara-
koram». Accepting Dr. A. NEVE'S two principal Kara-korum Ranges we have only
to interpret Burrard's view thus: the southern great Kara-korum, no doubt, continues
in the Aling Kangri and Transhimalaya the whole way beyond Nien-chen-tang-la
whereas the northern reappears in HUC'S Tang-la Range.
