being parallel to the Southern Kwen-lun. South of it another range, more or less
interrupted, runs parallel to it and north of Pool-tso and Antelope plain. The lati-
tudinal valley of Antelope plain and its N. E. continuation, where I travelled on
nearly horizontal ground in 1906, is bordered to the south by a range which ob-
viously is in connection with Rawling's Deasy Group, 5971 m. high. In their
eastern prolongation these ranges are no doubt parallel to the main axis of the
Kwen-lun system and to the latitudinal valley in which Wellby and Malcolm
travelled.

The next range of the Northern Aghil system was crossed by Rawling S.E.
of his Lake Markham and by me 57 km. farther E. N. E. in a pass of 5611 m. As
Rawling's peaks are here only 5300—5500 m. high, the range seems to increase
in altitude to the east.

Then follows a gap of 275 km. of unknown country before we reach the part
of the same system where it was crossed by De Rhins in his Passe du Chasseur,
5362 m. high, a range that is probably overlapped by the previous one, unless there
are others between them. Only 13 km. farther east this range was crossed by
Littledale at an altitude of 5072 m.; 43 km. east of Littledale I traversed it
in a pass of 5056 m., and still 110 km. eastwards in a transverse valley where the
altitude was 4997 m. East of this valley it is called Chaine des Volcans by Bon-
valot who 48 km. farther east crossed it in a pass of 5200 m. East of his route
Bonvalot calls it Chaine Van der Putt which, however, seems to overlap the
previous one. This range runs north of my group of three lakes (1900). It is
certainly in connection with the Dungbure system which farther east was crossed by
Rockhill, Prshevalskiy and A—K—.

On his frontispiece map Burrard has sketched the Kwen-lun as one mighty
range running north of the upper, latitudinal courses of the Yarkand-darya and
Kara-kash-darya, and being in immediate connection with the meridional Kashgar
Range. At about 81° East Long. the range bifurcates, and at 83° the northern,
principal branch again bifurcates, the northern branch being the Altyn-tagh Range,
and the southern the Kwen-lun proper.

The Western Kwen-lun no doubt consists of two main and several smaller
ranges, all parallel with one another. The southern of these, the Raskem or
Raskan Range, runs north of and parallel to the upper Raskem-darya. Its best
known pass is the Chirak-saldi-davan, 3970 m. high. The E. S. E. continuation of
this range may be called the Suget Range as it is crossed in Suget-davan, 5434 m.
high. The knee of the sharp eastward bend of the upper Karakash where Stein
has travelled in several directions, pierces the range. East of this bend the range
rises to very considerable dimensions, and has many peaks and crests with eternal
snow and glaciers. One of the highest peaks is Chelpanglik, 7104 m. high. Then
