Both Raverty and Montgomerie speak of the Mus-tagh and the Kara-
korum as two different ranges. The latter, one of the most perspicacious and enter-
prising specialists of these inaccessible tracts, regards the Kara-korum as a well
developed mountain system of very great orographical importance, and does by no
means confound it with the Kwen-lun.

J. P. Ferrier complains of the unreliability of the maps of regions situated much
farther west, one could, at this time, hardly speak of any maps at all from Western Tibet.ยน
