Abstract
THE term “Pamir,” when strictly used, connotes the level floor of a wide-based mountain-valley in the uplands that connect the Hindu-Kush and Karakoram ranges to the south with the Alai and Tianshan ranges to the north. On its eastern side this tract rises rather abruptly from Kashgar; westward, it descends more gradually to Ferghana.
