A centenary review of the geographical and geological knowledge gained between 1807, when the first geographical expedition was made into the Himalayas (to discover the source of the Ganges), and 1907, when this was first published in response to a proposal by the Survey of India. The subject is treated in four parts: The High Peaks of Asia, The Principal Mountain Ranges of Asia, The Rivers of the Himalaya and Tibet, and The Geology of the Himalayas.
