Yarkand, the capital of Turkistan.

Latitude North. Longitude East Green. Height.

38° 10' 74° 0' 4,200 feet.

An approximate value of the temperature for the northern basis of High Asia,
for the depression of Yarkand separating the Kuenluen from the Sayanchan, may be
deduced by combinations of Leh and Skardo for the height, and by an additional
correction (I found it = — 2° Fahr.) for the difference of latitude from the map of
isothermal lines referred to the level of the sea. The approximate means I obtained
are the following:

Dec. to Febr.

March to May.
