effected made it clear that the Nissa valley did not extend so far to the S.W. as shown in
the map of 1900-01 when its glaciers could be sketched only from a single distant station
above the Brinjak-dawān. ¹⁶
From Nissa I proceeded via Karanghu-tāgh to the south in a fresh endeavour to
trace Johnson's passage of the main range to the latter place in 1865.
In my Personal Narrative I have recorded the obstruction which the
Karanghu-tāgh hillmen offered to this plan and explained its obvious
reasons. ¹⁷ Nevertheless with yak transport secured under great difficulties we managed
to reach the big glaciers which close from the S. W. the head of the Turgap-jilga, a branch
of the Busat valley. ¹⁸ The ascent made on one of these, in spite of unfavourable weather
conditions, made it certain that no practicable route could lie across the precipitous ice-clad
range rising above those glaciers on the south, and that this range itself is distinct from the
main K'un-lun chain which further south forms the watershed towards the Kara-kāsh river
drainage.
An attempt to gain from the lower Busat valley another side valley beyond a high
spur to the east in which I surmised the approach to Johnson's 'Brinjga' and 'Naiá Khán
Pass' to lie was frustrated by an émente of the Tāghliks. Thus the final elucidation of some
interesting topographical questions connected with that route and the unexplored tributaries
of the Yurung-kāsh to the south-east had to be left for a future occasion. ¹⁹
