These are photos made from the original maps in Volume V of Serindia, Aurel Stein's report on his Second Expedition into Chinese Turkestan.

The map sheet # 61 Lop Nor is also missing from the copy of Serindia sent from the Univ. of Rochester library. It is the other important map sheet as it shows the area directly south of Lou lan and north of Abdal. This is the key region in which the Tarim, Charklik and So-lo Ho all enter into their deltas in swamp and dry salt lake areas. The exact location of this area was disputed until Stein performed detailed astronomical observations and survey. He retured here in the third expedition and we have the maps from that report - Innermostasia.
