This link is to the index of map sheets
that accompanied Serindia. Stein visited locations along the northern
rim of the Takla Makan and foothills of the T'ien Shan during both his second
and third expeditions. They are shown on maps 14 - 19 - 23 - 24 - 34 - 39 - 42
- 45 - 44 - 48 - 49 - 51 - 52 - 4 - 55 - 58 - 59 - 62 - 63 - 66 - 69 - 72 - 73
- 76 -77- 80. Here I have listed some of the various locations that Stein found
interesting enough to sketch or photograph and discuss in Innermostasia or
Serindia. |
