under a high cliff on the deep shingly bed of the old lake formed in the manner just
described. — On the 10th we continued in the same general northerly direction, and passed
the upper Kumdan glacier, which shoots down from a lateral valley to the north-west,
and almost touches the opposite side of the main valley.
Gordon approached within two miles of the Remu glacier. The following day
he had a very fine view of the north-western portion of the Remu glacier, »which
showed right down in the main valley, with an even surface, wonderfully sea-like».
He regards this glacier as standing unrivalled in its grandeur of extent and close
resemblance to a frozen sea. It rises amongst peaks and ridges from 19,000 to
24,000 feet high. It is about 21 miles in length. The Shayok cutting away succe-
ssive blocks of ice, usually prevents farther extension. »The glacier, however, has
been known on several occasions to protrude right across the valley of the Shayok,
so as to dam up the stream and form up a large lake, ending in a cataclysm when
the water finally bursts through the ice and rushes down the valley in a mighty
and destructive flood wave, similarly as has been observed of the Kumdan glaciers
lower down.»¹ Gordon, however, is able to inform his readers that the disastrous
inundations of the Indus were not caused by the damming up of these glaciers, but
by a huge landslide in a quite different region.
The map accompanying Gordon's work has the title, Part of the preliminary
map of Eastern Turkistan to illustrate the reports on Sir Douglas Forsyth's
Mission to Kashgar, 1873—74. Compiled by Captain H. TROTTER. Here we
find a mighty range called Mustagh with the Karakorum Pass. The signification
Kara-korum Range is not used.
W. T. BLANFORD, in his work on STOLICZKA'S geological results, distinguishes
between the following ranges in N. W. Himalaya and Western Tibet.² The Kwen-
lun Range on the edge of the Yarkand plain, the Mus-tagh Range with the Kara-
korum Pass, and forming the main ridge with the great watershed, the Ladak Range
running along the northern bank of the Indus, and separating its valley from that
of the Shayok, a nomenclature that is in accordance with that of BURRARD; the
Zaskar Range, which forms the south-western limit of the Indus drainage, extending
along the north-eastern boundary of Kashmir, and the continuation of which to the S.W.
is sometimes known as the Baralatse Range, and the Himalaya Proper, the north-
western continuation of which is the Pir Panjal. This view is only partly in accor-
dance with Burrard's Zaskar Range.
A few extracts from STOLICZKA'S notes regarding the geology of the hill
ranges between the Indus and Schahidullah may be of interest.³ The Indus near
