Abstract
THE paper read by Mrs. Bullock Workman before the Royal Geographical Society in November last is published in the February number of the Geographical Journal. An account is given of the exploring work carried out by Dr. and Mrs. Bullock Workman during 1903 in the region of the Karakoram mountains lying south-west of the Hispar glacier, or between that glacier and the Indus. This region is cut off from the Hispar glacier by a practically continuous ridge, and is crossed by glaciers moving from north and north-west, the chief being the Chogo Lungma, Alchori, Hoh Lumba, and Sosbon glaciers. The work of the expedition consisted chiefly in the examination of the Hoh Lumba and Sosbon glaciers, and in ascents of Mounts Chogo (21,500 feet) and Lungma (22,568 feet), near the head of the Chogo Lungma glacier.
