July 17th 1906 Mr. CALVERT crossed the frontier to Shipki and proceeded to
Gartok *viâ* the Chumurti Plain. August 20th he set off for the goldfields, and reached
Chukang on the Indus by a hitherto unknown route. Thok Jalung he found deserted.
He was the first European to reach the place. On the return journey he visited
Rudok. I have not been able to find a more detailed description of this most in-
teresting and clever journey.¹

From these general descriptions of the physical and orographical geography
of High Asia we have again to direct our attention to a few exploring expeditions
in the Kara-korum System.
