OF ALPINE PLANTS IN THE CAUCASUS, 261 
1875.—The j journeys in this year on the northern side of Alagös, 
and to other heights in the Armenian highlands, also gave some 
useful material. 
Zchra-Zcharos-mta Pass to the plateau of Achalkalaki, 
8807 ft. 
Kara-Kaja, also Kara-Kissi, 9351 ft. by triangulation, 9500 ft. 
by barometer, attaining its highest point in Abul 10,826 
ft., and its greatest altitude east of Dali-dagh, Samsar, 
elevations of from 9000 to upwards of 10,000 ft. 
Alagös, northern side, extreme limit of barley culture, 8300 ft. 
, do., botanical station, 10,000 ft. 
, north-west foot of the peak, about 12,000 ft. 
1876.—I devoted to travelling through that part of the Great 
Caucasus which stretches from Kasbek to the Daghestan chain. 
The following heights are of value for our purpose :— 
Archosis-tawi Pass, 10,247 ft. 
Anatoris-gele Pass, 10,089 ft. 
Azunta Pass, on Tebulos, 12,283 ft. 
Tebulos-mta, peak, by triangulation, 14,781 ft. 
Kerigo, 11,011 ft. 
Camp on Kwawlos-mta, 10,400 ft. 
Katschu, peak, 14,027 ft. 
Bonos-mta, peak, 13,736 ft. 
Kadowanis-mta Pass (Sazchenos-gela), 10,430 ft. 
Borbalo, the lesser, 11,552 ft. 
Sakoris-tawi Pass, 10,225 ft. 
Massara Pass, 10,547 ft., but according to the 5-verst map ct 
the Imperial Staff 10,129 ft. 
1879-80 I spent in Russian Talyseh, and travelled through a 
part of Aderbaidshan and Sawalan. In the outlying chain of 
the boundary-range of the Talysch mountains the important 
heights Kusjuroi and Marajurt were discovered to be only 8033 
ft. and 8226 ft. Iascended as high as 13,000 ft. on Sawalan, 
though at the time of the melting of the snow in the beginning 
of August many species would be obtained at greater heights 
than I was able to discover them. 
1885.—I visited the high alpine districts of Daghestan, from 
Schah-dagh westwards to Bogos. With reference to the alpine 
flora, the following discovered heights have value :—
