SKULLS OF WILD SHEEP.

fully forty miles long, and 500 feet in depth. The absence 

 of any remains of a moraine, or of blocks of rock in the 

 valley below the fork, is I believe, the only apparent objection 

 to this theory ; but, as I shall elsewhere have occasion to 

 observe, the magnitude of the moraines bears no fixed pro- 

 portion to that of the glacier, and at Pabuk, the steep 

 ridges of debris, which were heaped up 200 feet high, were 

 far more striking than the more usual form of moraine. 



On my way up to Yangma I had rudely plotted the valley, 

 and selected prominent positions for improving my plan on 

 my return : these I noAv made use of, taking bearings 

 with the azimuth compass, and angles by means of a pocket 

 sextant. The result of my running-survey of the whole 

 valley, from 10,000 to 16,000 feet, I have given along 

 with a sketch-map of my routes in India, which accom- 

 panies this volume.
