Thus, the lofty chains of the Him- alaya, and of Hindo-Khu, sink towards the west and disappear, and no important ridge any longer separates the inhabitants of the steppes of Lake Aral from tho dweller on the table land of Iran. The Caucasus rues abruptly from the level of the Caspian, and terminates in the same way at the margin of the Black Sea ; and it is only upon the high shore of this sea that the moun- tains of Transylvania arid the Balkan again begin to separate the ...northern from the southern world. This break opens to the polar winds and the northern tribes 'he broad gate which has cost the south such, fierce assaults.

Let us add, finally, that a large number of chains, parallel to this great line, and of others cutting it trans- versely, Ifke the Bolor, the Ghauts of the Deccan, and the numerous chains of Indo-China, the Lebanus, the Oural, the Scandinavian Alps, to mention only the prin- cipal, cut the soil in all directions, divide it into a multi- tude of different basins, of natural regions, having their several limits, their climate, their special character, and we shall be convinced of the truth of the assertion, that in the Old World, variety of structure is canied to the extreme.
