64 THE REGIONS SURVEYEL, [Chap- II slop of the: mountains. The physical conditions here observed present s very striking contrast to those found in the l'urfan basin just across the range. This sudden change is particularly impressive owing to the close connection which, faci- c,ounection with T,,rrao bnsin, litated by several direct passes practicable during tile greater part of the year, has been maintained with the flourishing oases of that basin throughout historical times. In We have seen that the Turfin district reproduces on a small scale all the typical features of tlie Tirim basin. Hence the inclueion in tile mame map sheet, No. 28, which represents its topography, of this edge of Dzungaris, s 'pimen, as it mere, of another vast division of Central Asia, cannot fail to be geographically instructive. "' The closene~ of the relations, political as well the signiticant fact that the enrliest historical recordn, &economic, which hare always linked T din with contained in the Annals of the Ean dynasty and the territory in the north, known to tbc Chinese ad dating from the first centuries before and after ministration of T'ang timea (7th-8th century A.

CHAPTER 111 THE MAPS SELTION I.-COMPILATION OF MAPS The of the present maps was commenced in 1916, after a brief visit paid by me to the Trigonometrical Survey Office, Dehra DBn, on my return from the third expedition in March of that year, had allowed the main lines of the work to be settled with the approval of the Surveyor General. My deputation to England immediately thereafter for work on the archaeological results of my journeys prevented me from being consulted with regard to details, while the work of compilation was being pushed on in 1916-17 with commendable rapidity under the direction of Colonels G. A. Beazeley, H. H. Turner and R. A. Wauhope, R.E., successively in charge of No. 2 Drawing Office. Notwithstanding the serious difficulties arising from war conditions it had by the close of 1916, progressed sufficiently far to permit the fair drawing of certain sheets to be begun. My return to India in the autumn of 1917 fortunately rendered it possible for me to revise each sheet in the original drawing and subsequently to pass it in proofs through the successive stages of reproduction. The magnitude of the work involved is indicated by the fact that the section of No. 2 Drawing Office engaged on these maps during the years 1917-19 Ijrawing o* maps. comprised on the average fifteen draftsmen under the supervision of one officer of the Provincial Service and of two of the Upper Subordinate Service. The assistance of R.B. Lel Singh was assured from the start until his retirement in August, 1919, and his personal knowledge of much of the ground proved of great value. Similarly very helpful was the continued supervision of the drawing work by M. Karim Bakhsh, Head Draftsman, who since 1901 had taken a share in the cartographical work resulting from our surveys. The drawing and reproduction work was not completed until 1922, having been carried on since the spring of 1919 under the direction of Major F. J.M. King, R.E., in joint charge of No. 2 Drawing and Photo-Zinco Offices, Dehra Den, to whose constant care the technical execution of the maps owes much. The main basis for the compilation of the maps was provided by the series of triangulations and of astronomically observed latitudes brought back from '!tiangolation results. the three journeys and worked up by the Computing Office, Dehra Dun. In Appendix A, Major K. MASON, M.C., R.E., has been kind enough to record a summary of needful information concerning the character and extent of the several triangulation series and the methods of conlputation employed, together with a list of latitudes, longitudes, and heights for all triangulation stations and points. There, too, an explanation has been furnished of tlre circumstances which at the time of compilation caused some stations and points derived from It. B. Li1 Singh's triangulation on the third journey to be inserted in the maps with values different from those which were finally adopted in 19i1 after careful re-consideration of the computation work. The whole of the triangulation of the three journeys has been shown in a series of charts accompanying Major Mason's Appendix. A complete list of astronomically determined latitudes will be found in the Notes of Chapter IV dealing separately w~th each sheet. There, too, I have lbxtrnneous mnterials used. furnished a summary of the information which the Drawing Office hpe recortled as to the methods and materials used in the compilation of ewh sheet. Special mention has been made there of all instances where it had been considered advisable in the compilation to utilire latitudes and longitudes of particular places derived from the observations of other travellers or in some cases taken from previously published maps. Amonq such extraneous materials the following deserve special mention; the series of chronometrically determined longitudes which IUTr. C. Clementi obtained on his
