northern range of hills, which he regards as being in connection with the Hindu-
kush. And he knows that this boundary wall separates Hindustan from Tibet, and
gives rise to all the great rivers of Panjab, though he is not aware of the excep-
tional origin of the Satlej. For he says of them, inclusive of the Satlej: »The sources of

His own descent, and the wonderful adventures of his life explain Sultan Baber's
knowledge of these regions. Though he does not mention the Kara-korum, he may
easily have known this mountain system, as he used to inquire of the natives about
the unknown parts of the regions north of India, and as the Kara-korums were in
connection with those mountain regions through which he marched to India.

The quoted passages of Sultan Baber's Memoirs ought perhaps to have been
inserted chronologically at their right places. I have, however, preferred to give them
in connection with the preface of the editors of the English translation and with
their map, which allows us to make a direct comparison between the knowledge of
the great Baber and that of his commentators hundreds of years after his death.
