Ancient Khotan Vol II, xxviii - Plan of ruined house N.1, ancient site beyond the Niya river (beyond means north of the last gasp of the river in the desert). This is the first ruin to which Stein was led and the location of his initial recovery, which he takes pains to show on this plan. (See photos). Ram Singh was the first professional surveyors assigned by the Survey of India to assist Stein. He later became too ill for the exertion of desert and mountain work as was replaced by Lal Singh during the second expedition and for the third.
