To judge from Macartney's map and from Elphinstone's text, they did not at
all know the existence of the Kwen-lun, although these mountains had been known
by the Chinese some two thousand years, partly under the name of Ts'ung-ling.
Anyhow the map is of great interest and value, throwing bright light on the
desperate searching for truth, and as a proof of conscientious desire to bring out
the chief geographical features in a country not yet visited by any Europeans. It
is also important as a first attempt to broaden out Tibet to its real breadth. From
classic times the Emodus Montes had kept their ground as one single range. On
Strahlenberg's map there was only an Imaus, on Renat's only a Mustack.
d'Anville had made it very likely that the mountainous country here was much
broader, as later on was clearly shown on Macartney's map. He obviously sup-
posed that his Mooz Taugh or Kara-korum was the boundary to Chinese Turkestan,
or rather to Yarkand and Kashgar, as he reckons Chinese Turkestan both north
and south of the range.
Whilst Macartney, as we have seen, on his map of 1815 identifies the Kara-
korum with the Mus-tagh, A. Arrowsmith on his map Outlines of the Countries
between Delhi and Constantinople 1814, with additions to 1816, from which Pl. XXII
is reproduced, — has only one name for the range which, here as well as on
Macartney's map, is the water-parting between the Shyok-Indus and the Yarkand
River-Lop-nor, namely Kara Koorum Ridge.
We now come to the first reliable traveller Mir Izzet Ullah¹ who has given
us a very good description of the Kara-korum road.
His narrative is re-published in 1843 by H. H. Wilson, who makes reference
to the travels of Burnes, Moorcroft, Wood and Vigne. When Wilson says that
it was in 1812 that Moorcroft dispatched Mir Izzet Ullah on a preparatory
tour to the countries which Moorcroft purposed to visit himself, he is of course right,
and »1812» only looks like a misprint, for, when in Leh, Moorcroft says:² »Im-
mediately after.... I dispatched Mir Izzet Ullah to Yarkand to further the negotiation
going on there for permission for us to proceed, and, pending the result continued
my investigations in the neighbourhood.»
But, on the other hand, Mir Izzet Ullah has obviously been sent to Yarkand
twice by Moorcroft, for the latter says in his first chapter, concerning the start in
October 1819:³ »Mir Izzet Ullah, a native gentleman of talent and information, who
