Regarding the geographical position of different places in Eastern Turkestan,
Montgomerie thoroughly discusses the results of HAYWARD, SHAW and others,
and points out that already some ten years earlier, his survey of the Kara-korum
and Mustagh Ranges had allowed him to conclude that the positions assigned to such
places by HUMBOLDT in his *Asie Centrale* were not in accordance with British results.
It is curious to see how little even the best trained geographer knew of the
Yarkand River only 50 years ago. The Mirza noted the size of the rivers between
Kashgar and Kara-korum of which the Yarkand River was the largest. «It is a
puzzle to think what can become of its great body of water.» As Yarkand was only
at about 4,000 feet above the sea, Montgomerie thought that »it must very soon
get pretty close to the level of the sea, and there is evidently no chance of its
getting out of Asia into the sea». He found it not impossible that the »Sirikul Rivera
could come from the Karakul Lake. It is joined by other rivers, amongst them »by
the river which drains the northern face of the Karakorum mountains; the combined
stream forming the great Yarkund River».
In 1872 Sir HENRY YULE communicated to the Royal Geographical Society
a *Journey from Peshawar to Kashgar and Yarkand in Eastern Turkestan, or
Little Bokhára, through Afghánistán, Balkh, Badakhshán, Wakhán, Pamir, and
Sarkol, undertaken by Faiz Buksh, in connection with the Mission of T. D. For-
syth, during 1870.*¹ In this enumeration of itineraries of Oriental source, it is said
that, on the whole, it appears certain that the Turkestan territory is surrounded on
three sides by the Bulut Tagh chain of mountains. The following *résumé* of the
general orography is not bad, provided that it is from an Oriental author:
The Pamir Steppes connect several chains of mountains, *viz.* the Hindú Kush, in
the south-west; the Kuen Luen, in the east, the Kara Koram, in the Bolar; the Thián
Shán chain, in the north, which runs from Tirak Dawan, and Ming Yol, to the Western
Farghána Pass. According to native geographers, the Thian Shan chain, which commences
north of Eastern Turkistán, belongs to Mongolistán, which, commencing north of Káshghar,
runs westward of that place, and, running on southwards, joins the Kara Koram and
Kuen Luen chain in the south-east of Pamir. Here it branches off in two directions; one
branch goes into the Chinese Empire, passing to the north and north-west of Tibet (this
may perhaps be Kuen Luen). The other great branch runs on to the ocean, passing north
and north-west of the Punjáb and Hindustán, and south and south-west of Tibet. This is
probably the great Himalaya chain of mountains.
In volume VIII I am going to deal with Sir HENRY YULE'S opinion regarding
the Ts'ung-ling, as set forth in his *Essay on the Geography of the valley of the
Oxus.*² Here, therefore, only a few words have to be said regarding the *Map of*
