copy of the extremely rare Hsi-yü-t'u-chih of 1762, Professor F. W. K. Müller,
Professor v. Le Coq, Professor Hülle, Professor Hänisch of Berlin, Professor
O. Franke of Hamburg, and Professor Karlgren of Gothenburg. In a very high
degree my gratitude is due to Mr. W. Schrader of Berlin, who in the most able
way has drawn the maps translated from the Chinese, and to Mr. Bogdan Gisevius
of Berlin, who in a no less able way has reproduced the same maps.
I feel persuaded that students of the geography and history of Asia as well as
sinologists will receive Vol. VIII of »Southern Tibet» with great interest.
As to Vol. IX, I have to express my hearty thanks to Professor A. v. Le Coq,
the author of Part II: »Osttürkische Namenlisten», to Dr. Bror Asklund who has
written Part III: »Zur Geologie von Ost-Pamir», and to Professor Erich Hänisch
who has elaborated and published, as Part IV: »Eine chinesische Beschreibung von
Tibet», and »Das Goldstromland im chinesisch-tibetischen Grenzgebiete».
It is finally an agreeable duty for me to express my gratitude to those persons
who for a rather long time have been busy with the triple Index, Personal Names,
Geographical Names, and Index of Subjects, viz., Professor Otto Baschin, Dr. Albert
Herrmann and Miss Gertrud Stelzner, Dr. phil., of Berlin. The Index could
not possibly have been worked out in a more conscientious way, and I suppose
everybody will agree with me that it could not possibly have been more complete
than it is. The thousands of names on the map in 1:1000000 have also been
entered in the Index of Geographical Names.
Regarding the maps accompanying »Southern Tibet» I once more will express
my sincere thanks to Colonel H. Bystrom, who with his usual ability has accom-
plished the beautiful map in 52 sheets and in the scale of 1:200000, which is a
most valuable addition to Lieutenant Kjellstrom's map in 26 sheets and the scale
of 1:300000.
Finally my sincere gratitude is due to my Publishers. The able chief of the
Lithographic Institute of the General Staff of the Swedish Army, Mr. Axel Lagrelius,
has taken upon himself the responsibility of financing the work, the costs of which
have been enormous, especially those parts which have been printed after the
war. Under his superintendence text, illustrations and maps have been printed.
Vols. IV, VII, VIII and IX, and Part III of Vol. VI were printed in the presses of
F. A. Brockhaus, Leipzic, who also reproduced a number of the photographic illus-
trations to Vols. IV and VII, as well as the profiles and diagrams of Vol. VII and
the sketches of Vol. IX. After the death of my old friend Albert Brockhaus in
1921, the task was carried on by his son and his brother, assisted by the able
Mr. Edlinger.
The editors of the »Ostasiatische Zeitschrift» very kindly have placed at my
disposition the whole of the chinese characters required.
