great mountain systems of the interior of the Continent. However, Lóczy principally
deals with the Kwen-lun System, as the expedition chiefly came in contact with it.
He examines, so far as it was possible nearly 30 years ago, the connection between
the Western, Central and Eastern Kwen-lun, and also enters upon the mountain systems
interesting us in this volume.¹

Lóczy shows how RICHTHOFEN corrected the mistakes of HUMBOLDT regarding
the continental extension of the Kwen-lun, and its presumed connection with the Hindu-
kush, and how the same scholar, from the discoveries of STOLICZKA and the British
geologists explained the tectonic relations between the Kwen-lun and the Himalaya.
Later on the researches of BOGDANOVITCH modified RICHTHOFEN'S views considerably.

Lóczy points out that RICHTHOFEN, when he sketched the great lines of
Asiatic orography, hardly had more exact materials at his disposition than HUMBOLDT
and RITTER. His results agree very well with the experiences of the expedition of
Count SZÉCHENYI, with PRSHEVALSKIY'S second and third journeys and with the
wanderings of the PUNDIT A— K—.

As some of the great Chinese rivers came from a line stretching S. W.—N. E.
in Eastern Tibet, Richthofen believed in the existence of a mighty protuberance in
these regions, the probability of which was strengthened by HUC'S description of
the mighty Tang-la.

While Richthofen regarded the Bolor Mountains of Humboldt or the Kizil-yart,
as a N. W. and northern continuation of the Himalayan system,² SUESS proves that
this view was wrong and that the Western Kwen-lun turns to the N. W. and N. N. W.
the Kizil-yart being its continuation. He also explains how the Western Himalaya
to the S. W. goes over into the Hindu-kush.

Lóczy had no dates regarding the parts of Tibet situated east of Ling-si-tang
and Aksai-chin. A space of some 10° of Long., i. e. the interior of Tibet and the
continuation of the Kwen-lun remained unknown.

The journey of BONVALOT and Prince HENRY OF ORLÉANS generally indicated
a W.—E. stretching of the ranges. »In dem Reisewerke sind leider keine Angaben
über Breitenbestimmungen und ebenso auch keine Routenaufnahmen enthalten, infolge-
dessen wir nicht in der Lage sind, über den Grad der Genauigkeit der Bonvalot-
schen Karte zu urteilen. . . . Das mächtige Dupleix-Gebirge scheint die W. N. W.-liche
