f Course a little east of north up the Nian 

 river, a feeder of the Bainam, which having 

 flowed S. W. as far as Dzialdze, turns N. W.

Ranges. 

 Dr. Campbell's 2d ridge is probably the Chun of Klaproth, who how- 

 ever gives it a meridional course parallel to the river Bainam and not 

 crossed by the route. Dr. Campbell's Karii ridge may be the Kharab 

 of Klaproth, and his name, a misprint for Kharii-la or mount Kharti. 

 Dr. Campbell's Kambo range is questionless the Gamba of Klaproth. 

 The route crosses it according to both. But Klaproth makes it run E.
