dans un affroyable désordre». From this short description it seems likely that they
went the Murgho route and not by Kumdan, which seems to have been closed on
account of the advance of the Kichik-Kumdan Glacier which must have taken place
immediately after my passage in 1902.

Anginieur sums up the results of their journey in the following words:¹ »Les
résultats du voyage n'ont d'importance qu'au point de vue géographique. Nous
avons traversé le désert Aksai-Tchin, ce qui n'avait pas encore été fait, et nous avons
découvert les sources tout a moins permanentes du Karakach. La topographie de
cette région a été relevée approximativement par Crosby.» It ought to have been
mentioned that HAYWARD some 35 years earlier had discovered the sources of the
Kara-kash, and that the SCHLAGINTWEITS, JOHNSON, SHAW, and members of FOR-
SYTH'S missions had crossed the Aksai-chin. The map is as poor as CROSBY'S own.
The expedition did not add anything to our knowledge of the Kara-korum.²

The same year, 1904, Dr. EMIL SCHLAGINTWEIT did not leave any doubt as
to the tremendous dimensions of the Kara-korum System. In his article Tibet³ he
gives a general view of the mountain systems of Tibet and regards the valley of
the Tsangpo as the northern boundary of the Himalayan System. »On the other
side of this river the Kara-korum mountains rise in the west, the 'Black Mountains',
one of the most inhospitable mountains on the earth, which here form the greatest
hindrance to an effective trade.»

An excellent map drawn from the latest information by C. SCHMIDT, accompanies
this article. The central lake region is, of course, given exclusively from NAIN SING.
The Nien-chen-tang-la is clearly marked. But west of Shigatse there is no, and
cannot be any, sign of the Transhimalaya, although SCHLAGINTWEIT regards all the
mountains on the northern side of the Tsangpo as belonging to the Kara-korum.
Only the ranges NAIN SING saw from his route are drawn, exactly as on his map;
30° North lat. hardly touches any mountains at all. This was in 1904.
