The mountains Pingala, Rudra, Suras, Anjani, Pandura and Trsrnga are the only mountains which remain to be identified. Trsrnga is obviously the Vashan Tagh (16,600)—Khan Tagh (17,900)—Chimtarga (17,997) cluster of peaks (all within a radius of 3 miles) between the Turkistan and Hissar ranges north of Karatagh. This cluster of giant peaks dominates the eastern horizon when seen from Samarkand or Kitab. Pandura corresponds to the low yellowish limestone ridge which runs closely parallel to the right bank of the Surkhan river up to Devau. Anjani corresponds to the spurs of the Hissar range which flank Kafirnigan town in the north. The first three mountains could not be identified.
