Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Coordinates of elevation 2900m nearest to the assumed location of Hoare pass (=Hpare) were located. Linear extent was calculated as the halved distance between coordinates and centre of nearest named place, Lang Yang. Linear extent was used as the uncertainty radius.)
