CHAPTER XXXIX.

BOGDANOVITCH, MEDLICOTT, BLANFORD, OLDHAM
AND LÓCZY.

In this chapter I will try to give a short résumé of the orography of Western
High Asia as explained by a few distinguished geographers and geologists some
20 and 30 years ago. If some famous Russian names are missing it is due to the
fact that their geological survey and geographical exploration were carried out west
or east of our regions. Still, in this connection we should not forget to mention
the splendid work of the most able and sympathetic of all Russian geologists, Pro-
fessor I. V. MUSHKETOFF, who, however, had no occasion to visit Western Tibet,
but published the most excellent geological description of Russian Turkestan. Nor
should we forget the important work of such men as POTANIN, V. A. OBRUTCHEFF,
and the two brothers GRUM-GRSHIMAILO.

In 1891 K. I. BOGDANOVITCH, who was a pupil of MUSHKETOFF, delivered
to the Imp. Russian Geographical Society a lecture on the orography of Kashgaria,
Kwen-lun and North-western Tibet, the Geography of Eastern Turkestan, and the gold
mines of Kwen-lun.¹ He found that the E. N. E. stretching mountain-system separating
Kashgaria from the highlands of Tibet, in ancient times was called the Nan-shan
Mountains by the Chinese. The mountain system stretching in the opposite direction,
namely W. N. W. and N. N. W., and bordering Kashgaria on the west, was called
Da-Tsun-lin, or Great Onion Range by the Chinese geographers, a view that is not
quite correct, as we will see in Vol. VIII. However, in the Chinese Nan-shan and
Da-Tsun-lin, Bogdanovitch recognizes the system that generally is called Kwen-lun.

Further he tells us that those parts of the Kwen-lun that are connected with
the Pamir and more particularly the Mus-tagh-ata, as well as with the Mustagh and
Kara-korum, cannot be sharply defined on their south-western sides, as these parts
