As Pl. LXVI I insert a map drawn at Vienna in 1873, only a few years be-
fore the appearance of Richthofen's Vol. I of China.¹ North of Tibet it shows the
Nan-shan (Njanj-Szanj-Gebirgs-Rücken) of the Chinese. A part of the Kara-korum is
visible in the N. W. corner. The Lang-bu-zi Geb. traverses the whole of Tibet and
has a certain resemblance to the eastern continuation of the Kara-korum as shown
in the map of the Schlagintweits (Cp. Pl. XIX, Vol. III). Between it and the Upper
Tsangpo there are some conjectural ranges with unknown names. The Satlej is re-
presented as taking its rise from the Rakas-tal, but there is no connection between
the latter and the Sacred Lake. There is no resemblance whatever between this
Austrian map and the one of Richthofen (Vol. III, Pl. XXIV), which is, of course,
much superior.
