B. Steinige Wüste: 
IV. Eurotia-Wüste; 
V. Abhänge u. s. w. 
C. Gehôlzformationen: 
VI. Myricaria-Gebüsche; 
VII. Salix-Gebtische (im Dschamantal).” 
A comparison between FEDTSCHENKO’S formations and 
those described in this article will show that 
Alpine meadows — Poa attenuata formation. 
Damp meadows | 
— Swamp-meadow. 
Salt-marsch meadows | 
Eurotia-desert — Trigonella formation (?). 
“Abhange u. s. w.” — Eurotia formation (?). 
“Myricaria-Gebtische” belong to the river-bank formation, and 
“Salix-Gebüsche” to the stony river-bed formation. 
As will be shown in further detail, later, Eurotia vegeta- 
tion should presumably not be classified as desert vegetation. 
CHAPTER 5 
Notes on vegetation made on the way 
from Alai to Jashil Kul. 
From the fresh and charming Olgin Lug our way leads 
southwards. [t is very steep, and our panting horses crawl 
slowly zigzagging up over the Taldyk Pass, where in shady 
places snow lies unmelted on the twenty-sixth of June. Once 
on the other side, the south side, one may see far across 
the wide green plain of Alai, stretching from east to west, 
and forming the boundary between Alai and Pamir. 
There lies Pamir! We see a mighty snow covered moun- 
tain range, glittering and remote; it is the Trans Alai Chain, 
— called Katman Tagh by the natives —- the northern moun- 
tain boundary of Pamir. Over those mountains lies our path, 
behind them our goal.
