fide Richthofeni, jngo duplici, elatissimo, limitem 

 planitiei elatae tibeticae a plano Tarimensi efficiente. 

 Declivitas ejus meridionalis vel tibetica absque dubio 

 brevior et lenior, borealis autem tota longitudine muri 

 ardui et insuperabiiis aspectum praebet, ad occasum 

 magis magisque frequenter atque demum ubique per- 

 enni nive vel simul glacie obrutum, subter saxis in- 

 gentibus et inviis peraratum vel campis lapidosis va- 

 stispercursum. Inter saxaimprimisgraniticaoccurrunt, 

 tum sienitum quarzitum dolomitum et schistum. Inter 

 11 et 13000 p. s. m. inveniuntur prata alpina par- 

 vula, fiora et fauna tamen ubique paupera. Infra 8000 

 p. s. m. jacet zona collium a jugo principali excurren- 

 tium e detritu limoque constantium, qui in longitudi- 

 iiem dividuntur faucibus profundis (usque 1000 p.) et 

 praecipitibus, quarum fundo devolvuntur rivuli non- 

 nulli tum in planitiem declivem undulatam et sterilem 

 effiuentes et postea in arena mobili deserti evanescentes. 



Simile munimentum arduum paulo minus tamen 

 altum a Tsaidamo contra Turkestaniam Sinensem et 

 Mongoliam efficit jugum Toguz-daban, a Kuen-liin 

 abiens gradu long. 87, et quae id excipiunt Altyn-tag 

 et Nan-shan, usque ad 39 grad. lat. extensa et a 

 Richthofen (num jure ?) etiam systemati Kuen-liin 

 adscripta. Ut Kuen-liin occidente est jugum fere sin- 

 gulare, ad orientem vero dividitur in 2 vel 3 juga pa- 

 rallela, sic etiam Toguz-daban et Altyn-tag solitario 

 muro in conspectum veniunt aspero inaccessibili et 

 deserto, Nan-shan autem discurrit in montium series 

 2 vel 3 invicem fere parallelas, intermissis vallibus 

 angustis sterilibus. Altissima (usque 19000 p. s. m.) 

 cacumina Nan-shani in ejus parte orientali inveniuntur 

 et limitem nivis perpetuae transeunt. In his quoque 

 jugis finitimis latus septentrionem v. Mongoliam spec- 

 tans multo magis evolutum et productum est quam 

 australei.e. Tsaidamense. Ita v. gr. oppidum Da-dshin 

 plano declivi limoso ad radicem montium borealem si- 

 tum, 5800 p. s m. jacet, oppidum Da-i-gu vero ad 

 radicem australem 8600 p. s. m. Inter illa surgit
