|A presentation copy of the first edition of the full account of the survey of a strip of land along the Russo-Afghan border. The British Survey of India team worked up from the South, whilst a team of Russian surveyors, under the leadership of Colonel Tcheikine, worked down from the North.Provenance: "S.M. Fraser", ownership inscription on upper cover. The Hon. Mr. Stuart Fraser, Resident of Kashmir, is thanked in the Introduction, along with his wife, for offering "much kind hospitality..., the former of whom had officially written through the local authorities requesting them to lend us every support. Without this consideration, it is hardly necessary to add that the progress of the detachment would have been impossible".
