jugum cujus dorsum praeruptum est et zona raedia 

 (7500 — 1 1000 p. s. m. alta) composita e limo (Loessj 

 lapides graniticos rotundatos includente et rupibus 

 protrusis Sieneti, Gneissi, schisti argillacei, rarius mar- 

 moris albi. 



Nunc Nan-shan orientalis ingrediendus est, ubi 

 quum collectiones botanicae peregrinatoris nostri de- 

 cerptae sint diutius morabimur. 



Ubi jugum australe Nan-shan (apud Richthofen 

 Tshetri-shan dictum) bipartitum fit, per vallem inter- 

 positam montuosam bene irrigatam sylvosam, clelicias 

 collectoris nostri, flumen Tetung (mongolice Ulan-Mo- 

 rin) decurrit, qui a sinistro in fl. Hoang-ho influit et a 

 quo etiam duae illae montium series quae id comitant 

 borealis etaustralis nomenTetungicae acceperunt. Quo- 

 rum montium series altera alteri consimiles: fastigia 

 attingunt altitudinem 14000 p. s. m. nive perenni or- 

 bata, trajicitur jugum boreale altitudine 11500 p., 

 meridionale altitudine 12400 p., latera abrupta, sal- 

 tus profundi et arcti sunt, undique prominent rupes 

 ingentes et variae schisti argillacei et chloritici, cal- 

 cis, felsiti, gneissi et hic illic dioriti atque graniti. 



Inter jugum Tshetri-shan et proximum australe ei 

 parallelum, quod usque ad urbem Lang-tshou pertinet 

 ubi a fluvio Hoang-ho perrumpitur et quod a Richt- 

 hofen ad systema Kuen-liin orientalis trahitur, in pla- 

 nitie non magna deserta tractu alpino praesertim ver- 

 sus orientem circumdata, effusus est altitudine 10 

 millium pedum s. m. lacus salsus amplus Kuku-nor, 

 angulum extremum orientalem Tsaidami quasi claudens. 



Jugum quod lacum istum ab austro persequitur et 

 ejus nomen fert si quis directione SO trajecerit, ad fl. 

 Hoang-ho prope oppidulum Hui-dui (6900 p. s. m.) 

 proveniat. Ab hoc loco a. 1880 frustra tentatum est 

 adverso flumine fontes ejus attingere. Nunc alveum 

 fluvii sequens profunde (1600 p.) in limum (Loess) in- 

 cisum, nunc in abruptos montes v. planities 1 2000 p.

 fluentium dissectas enitens, interdum ut fauci alicui 

 decedant innovum ad alveum descendens, viator mon- 

 tes inexpugnabiles adiit, e quibus altitudine 11000
