Schlagintweit, Hermann von; Schlagintweit, Adolf; Schlagintweit, Robert von: Results of a scientific mission to India and High Asia: undertaken between the years MDCCCLIV and MDCCCLVIII, by order of the court of directors of the hon. East India Company (Band 2): General hypsometry of India, the Himalaya, and Western Tibet, with sections across the chains of the Karakorúm and Kuenlúen: comprising, in addition to messrs. de Schlagintweit's determinations, the data collected from books, maps, and private communications (Leipzig, 1862)

heights determined in the himalaya.

more especially so when the peak was an isolated one. For larger groups, we could
not do better than add the sign adopted by the Great Trigonometrical Survey to
the name of the group which we have adopted.
In such cases we write thus:

Sankosi Peak No. xvii. J

Sankosi is the name emplo}^ed by us for several peaks of the same group (see'
Area VII. Nos. 199 to 203). Peak No. xvn. J is the designation given to this parti-
cular peak by the Gr. T. S. As the latitude and longitude for each peak is added, we
consider it unnecessary to give as well the series of the Gr. T. 8. to which this number
or sign is referred.

Also in cases where the peak has a well defined and known name, we add in
brackets the sign or number with which it is designated by the Gr. T. S.

For peaks measured by previous observers independently of each other, especially
for those of Kamaon and Grarhval, a careful revision and examination of existing
materials enabled us in most cases to identify them, and to each peak will be found
attached the observers mark and the values of the geographical co-ordinates as ob-
tained by him.
