1} Ibd., crp. 284: The only name by which the lake is well Lnown to nati-
ves is «Kul-i-Famir Kalan», i. e lake of the Greai Pamir. I have once ог twice
heard it called - «Airdén Kul>, or buttermilk lake.... Qur canap, which was
ahout two miles east of its head was called by the «Widkhiss Sar-i-kul (head
of the lake), & eamp in a corresponding position at the lower end being ealled
Bun-i-kul (foot of thé lake). This may account for the other name erroneous-
Iy given to it by Lieutenant Wood (Sfr-i-Kol).

T3 1ha.: AN the water from the hills at the east end drained into the lake,
which therefore like its neighbour in the Little Pdmir has but. one outlet, al-
though in the former case the water flows west, and in the Iater esst.

3 Ibd., eTp. 288.: My position of the west-end of Victoria Lake (the ex-
treme east point visited by Wood in hig travels) was latitude 37%27' north
and longitude 73° 40° 38, which is practically identical with the independent
determination of the sanie point. by lieutenant Wood.

4} ., eTp. 229: We reached the Great Pamir or Wood’s lake on lst May. It
was entirely frozen over and covered with snow. Its water is perfectly sweet,
judging from what we used for two days from the stream which {lows out
of it, It extends east and west, and is about ten miles long by three broad.
The water marks on the shores however indicate a considerable enlargement
in summer. Its height is 14,200 feet. The southern shore is even, the nox-
thern broken and irregular. The shores resemble a sea beach from tlie sand
and gravel which cover them. Many- signs of considerable depth were observed.

°) Ibd., etp, 229: Two small frozen lakes were observed near the head of
the lake, under high snowy mountains, which close.in. there irom the south.
They presented the appearance of ice acenmaulations, and prehably, alter
