ARCHDEACON PRATT ON THE ATTRACTION OF THE 
line in India. DEF is the Himalaya range, having a bend at E from north-west 
on the left to east by south on the right. FG is a range running to the table-land of 
Yu-nan in lat. 25° and long. 103°. GH is the range of the Yun-Ling mountains, 
in which there are many peaks of perpetual snow. HI is the Inshan range. IJ is 
the Khing-Khan range, very steep on the east side, not so on the west; the passes 
are said to be 5525 feet above the sea. JK is the Altai range, the highest peak of 
which is 10,800 feet, the average height is 6000; the range declines towards the 
east. KL was once thought to be a range of mountains, but it is now found to be 
a line of broken country. LD is the Bolor range, rising to an elevation similar to 
that of the Hindoo Koosh. There are, besides these, two ranges of high mountains 
running east into the Enclosed Space, parallel to the Altai and Southern Himalayas, 
viz. LM, the Thian-Schan range, or Celestial Mountains, and NP the Kuen-Luen 
range, being a continuation of the Hindoo Koosh, which rises from an altitude of 
2558 feet near Herat to about 20,000 near N, where it meets the Bolor range. It is 
with the elevation of the Enclosed Space itself that we are principally concerned,
