Having drawn the outline of the continent and noted itsremarkable peninsulas and chains of islands, the pupils may pro-ceed to mold the mountain masses of the continent in the immense mass of elevated land that forms the interiorof the continent. This mass is crowned by the great mountain-knot of Pamir— the roof of the world. Radiating from thiswe find the highest mountains of the globe. Four great ranges,the Himalaya, Kuen lun, Karakorum, and Yung Ling mountainsextend from east to west, and form mountain barriers crownedwith colossal mountain peaks. After the great plateau of Thibet is molded, these ranges maybe modeled in position. Some of the highest peaks should be 124 Molding Asia, shown in position. Mounts Everest, Kunchinjunga, Dhawal-aghiri, and other important crests will appear upon a good map. Model the secondary mountain systems according to any goodphysical map. Notice the position of the great plains of Asia. Here all of.

Thus the Amoor,the Yang-tse-kiang, Hoang-ho—that great Sorrow of Han —will be traced ; so also the Ganges, Brahmapootra, and the In-dus ; the Arctic rivers Obi, Yenisei, and the Lena.
