of »Badashan» and of his journey from »this little country» to the Pamier. And
he has given a splendid description of the wild sheep that still carries his name.
As to the discussion regarding the road taken by Marco Polo when crossing the
mountains which are the neighbours of the Kara-korum, I have to refer the reader
to Vol. VIII of this work.¹
Years ago I explained my hypothesis that the Tang-la in the far east of
Tibet, belongs to the same great system of folds as the Kara-korum.² From the
northern side of the Tang-la System, one of the principal feeders of the Yang-tse-kiang,
the Murui-ussu or Murus-ussu takes its origin. This river, which was crossed by
Prshevalskiy, had already been made famous by Father Huc on his memorable
journey in 1844—1846.³ If my assumption that the Tang-la is the continuation of
the northern fold of the Kara-korum is correct, Huc has crossed the whole eastern part
of this system, for, as shown in Vol. III, p. 158 et seq., he has also crossed the
eastern regions of the Transhimalaya. The reason why I mention him in this
connection is that Marco Polo seems to have had some knowledge of this river, or
at least have heard its name. The place in Marco Polo alluded to, runs as follows:
»After riding those ten days you come to a river called Brius, which terminates
the province of Caindu. In this river is found much gold-dust, and there is also
much cinnamon on its banks. It flows to the Ocean Sea.»⁴ To this Sir Henry Yule
has the following explanatory note: »The name given to the river, in this part of
its course, is (Mong.) Murui-ussu, or Murus-ussu, the Winding Water, and (Tib.)
Di-chu, or Bhri-chu, the River of the (tame) Yak-Cow, from one or the other of
which, Marco Polo seems to have taken the name Brius, which he gives to the
river in Yun-nan.»⁵
This river Murui-ussu or Bri-chu, Dre-chu, Di-chu, which, according to Huc,
is also called Polei-Tchou, or River of the Lord by the Tibetans, has also been
mentioned by Orazio della Penna, who knew it from information given by Samuel
van de Putte, and styled it as »un grandissimo fiume, chiamato Bic'iù».⁶ Klaproth
has identified this Bic'iù with the Bri-chu or Murussu.⁷
In Vol. I, Chapter IV, I have dealt with the Arabian geographers and their
knowledge of Tibet. To what I quoted there regarding the remarkable journey of
