    "OUR previous survey, including the expedition up the Yurungkash gorge, had cleared up the important question as to the true origin and course of the main feeder of the Khotan River. The next and equally interesting task was to map the headwaters of the streams which drain the portion of the Kuen-lnen range south and south-west of Karanghu-tagh, and are manifestly the principal tributaries. In the course of my inquiries from the Qusha herdsmen about dominant pots that would enable me to sight again the series of maguificent glaciers which feed the Kash River, I lad ascertained that there was a difficult path just practicable for laden yaks crossing the transverse range north-west to Karanghu-tagh. It was said to lead to the Nissa Valley, whence a track could be found to the mountains on the upper Kara-kash River."
