south, and then again takes an easterly direction, at 31° North lat. going south of
the Tengri-nor; at 95° East long. it finally comes to an end. When dealing with
the Transhimalaya I have already pointed out the fact that on the Schlagintweit's
map the range with the Kara-korum Pass, and the range between Tengri-nor and
Lhasa, are, uninterruptedly, one and the same system.
On the map in question Adolph's last journey is not correct, and Hermann says in
Vol. IV of his work, that, when this map was drawn in 1861, he had not yet ob-
tained all his brothers' diaries. At any rate one sees what a great area of Western
Tibet was covered by the journeys of these brothers.
In Petermanns Mitteilungen for 1861, Tafel 10, there is a little map which is
only a copy of the first map of the brothers. Here the Hindu-kush is the direct con-
tinuation of the Kara-korum. The Kara-korum Pass is placed in the Kara-korum
Range, and the Kwen-lun is an independent system north of it which comes to an
end W. S. W. of Khotan. The High Kara-korum with the gigantic glaciers, seen
and beautifully painted by Adolph, is missing altogether. West of Kashgar and
Yarkand is a range stretching N. W.—S. E. and west of its southern part is another
range called Pamir.
On Pl. VII in the series of Panoramic Profiles of the snowy Ranges of High
Asia, The Karakorum, with the Plateaux in Turkistán, and the Kuenlüen, drawn
and surveyed by Hermann and Robert de Schlagintweit,¹ there is a little insignificant
map² which I have reproduced as Pl. LI on account of its orographical interest. It
shows plainly how Hermann looked at the Kara-korum System in its great features.
It stretches diagonally through the whole of Tibet to the regions N. E. of Lhasa,
whilst the Kwen-lun is a smaller system coming at an end S. W. of Khotan. Going
straight south from Yarkand one, therefore, first meets the Kara-korum.
The first report about the Schlagintweits' journey northwards was communicated
by Col. W. H. Sykes in an article: Journey across the Kuen-luen from Ladak to
Khotan.³ The title would be all right, unless we read about the Saser Pass that
the large groups of glaciers surrounding it were »one of the largest accumulations
of glaciers in the Kuen-luen», which proves that the Kuen-luen in the title also is
meant to include the Kara-korum. »Khotan» in the title of the paper, includes the
whole province of which Ilchi is the capital. When Johnson is always reported to
be the first European who reached Khotan from India, it should be remembered that
the Schlagintweits had done it some 9 years earlier, although they did not visit
the town itself.
