The author stated tbatthe great Karakorum range of the Indian Caucasus, hitherto consideredan almost insurmountable obstacle to traffic between the populous regionof Central Asia and India, had been recently shown to be transitable, evenby laden camels. The route on leaving Leh, in Little Thibet, instead ofascending the Karakorum Pass, lay by the western end of Lake Pangong,and up the Changchenmo Valley, to the Karakash River, thence followingits banks past Shadula to Uchi and Yarkand. This route has lately beendescribed by Mr. T. Douglas Forsyth, and it had been also pointed out byMr. Johnson, the Indian surveyor, in 1861. Mr. Johnson, when he crossed When held in an upright position, the jaws down, the combined weightof jaws and ring cause them to fall, and the points of the jaws open suffi-ciently to receive the head of an ordinary screw. Now if pressure isexerted the stock is forced down and the jaws compressed, griping thescrew-head with an energy proportioned to the force exerted ; the harderthe pressure the greater the tenacity of the grip. The edges of the jawpoints, when they are seated on the screw-head, project sufficiently to cuta countersink to seat the head, preventing the necessity of using a separatetool for this purpose. In fact, unless in very hard wood, there will be nonecessity of previously boring a hole to receive the screw. In removinga screw this driver is equally effective. One advantage of this device maynot be apparent at first sight; that is the absolute connection between the Kuen-lun, heard of another route further to the east, by Changthang,passable to Leh by wheeled vehicles- The popula
