met no human being there, are obviously the Kok-art and Yangat¹ of Grombtchevskiy,
who has still a Kutluk and a Sauk Pass on the same track.
The first half of the itinerary of Blacker has also been covered by DEASY
and is to be found on his Map of Portions of Western China and Tibet explored
by Capt. H. H. P. Deasy, in 1897—98—99, Sheet No. 1 and Sheet No. 3. This is
the best map existing of this section, though it is not always easy to tell to which
names the figures of altitudes belong.
In spite of these difficulties I have put together in the table p. 595 the alti-
tudes and distances of the different travellers along the road in question. From the
dates in this table I have drawn the profile Pl. CI B, making use of those figures
which have seemed to be most reliable. In cases where only one observation exists
I have taken it as it is.
The profile I have been able to put together from the data in this table is
only approximately correct. From the result obtained, it is impossible to draw any
reliable conclusions as to the relations between the ranges of Pl. CI B and those of
Pl. CI A, for, as the different passes are taken from different travellers, it may easily
happen that two or even three passes in reality belong to one and the same range.
In this portion of the magnificent protuberance of mountains, innumerable geographical
and geological problems remain to be solved by future explorers.
