by LITTLEDALE, and some 25 km. farther east by me in a nameless pass of 4809 m.
Eighty km. E. N. E. of this point I crossed it July 31st, 1901, in a pass 5100 m. high.
A short distance farther east it has been crossed by BONVALOT, BOWER (5072 m.),
and ROCKHILL. Beyond this point it stretches E. S. E. through Amdo. Returning
to the west we find on BURRARD's frontispiece map the Aghil Range of YOUNGHUS-
BAND in connection with the Sarikol Range to the N. W. and east-south-eastwards
continuing all the way through Tibet, and finally turning S. E. between Mekong and
Salwen. On NEVE's sketch we have the North Kara-korum as the next neighbour
of the Central Kara-korum. As a matter of fact the Aghil Range follows as the
next neighbour N. E. of the North Kara-korum. The last-mentioned fold is of great
interest as it really seems to be in connection with the famous Tang-la Range in the east.

Far in the N. W. a parallel range or bifurcation of the North Kara-korum
carries the saddles of Shimshal and Min-teke. The main range sends out the Hispar,
Biafo and Baltoro Glaciers to the south. The Mus-tagh pass belongs to it and so
do K 2, 8610 m., the Gasherbrum, 8035 m., Younghusband's saddle, 6410 m., and
the Teram-kangri, 7472 m.¹ The Kara-korum Pass (5658 m. according to my
observations; 5655 m. according to BURRARD), is also situated on the North Kara-
korum Range. From the northern side of this part of the range the water flows to
Raskem-darya and other tributaries of the Yarkand-darya. Some 30 km. S. S. E. of
the Kara-korum Pass is the Dapsang Pass, 5428 m., on the same range which from
here stretches to the S. E., being a water-parting between the Shayok and the self-
contained basins of Ling-shi-tang and Aksai-chin. The Changlung-yogma, 5780 m.,
and other passes in the vicinity belong to it. From Lumkang-la, 5553 m., the range
continues due east to the north of the upper Chang-chenmo and Lanak-la. East of
the latter it has peaks of 6282 m., 6742 m. and 6438 m. Then it turns S. E. along
the southern shores of Arport-tso and Shemen-tso. South-east of the latter lake the
range is pierced by the valley of an affluent to Shemen-tso which I, in 1908, followed
upwards to a threshold of 5655 m., situated in the latitudinal valley between the
North Kara-korum and its nearest neighbour to the south. The range then stretches
east, E. S. E. and finally east. BOWER travelled along a part of it and crossed it in
a nameless pass of 5380 m., and 62 km. east of the latter pass I crossed the range
(1906) in Chakchom-la, 5433 m. high. Another 110 km. eastwards it was crossed
by DE RHINS in a transverse valley, east of which Monts Henri d'Orléans are
probably a part of it. Continuing again 110 km. eastwards from DE RHINS' route,
the range of North Kara-korum was crossed by LITTLEDALE in a nameless pass,
5472 m. high, and 75 km. farther east I crossed it in 1901 in a nameless pass of
5236 m. Interrupted by my lake of 4972 m. it was, east of the latter and south
