The scarce Survey of India report of De Filippi's Central Asian expedition which identified the Rimo Muztagh as the glacial source of the Yarkand River.

Dr Filippo De Filippi (1869-1938) had accompanied the Duke of the Abruzzi's expedition in 1909 to the Karakoram, and in 1913-14 lead a second expedition which would uncover new scientific research on the Karakoram Range, Gilgit-Baltistan Basin, Yarkand Valley, and Shyok River. This appears to be the only English scientific language work of the expedition, published the same year as the first volume of the massive 16 volume set scientific reports in Italian. Major Henry Wood, senior topographer on the expedition, was largely responsible for much of the geographical and geological findings and discoveries made, chiefly the gravitational values of the Karakoram mountains, their increased crust depth, and the importance of the Rimo Muztagh.

First edition; 4to (33.5 x 21.5 cm); 6 photographic plates including frontispiece, 10 photographic panoramas in rear pocket, 2 large folding maps in rear pocket; publisher's original printed boards, quarter cloth spine, a little wear with contemporary ink spot to upper board, still a very good untouched copy; [2], iii, 42 pp.

Not in Neate or Yakushi.
