Let us try to locate the relief features named in the above statement on a modern physical map of Central Asia. The one which was found convenient for this purpose was a Russian map of Central Asia on a scale 1 : 1,500,000 published in Moscow in 1954.² It gives a clear, three-dimensional picture of the relief of the whole basin of the Oxus.
