THE ETTEK-TARIM — TAGH-KUM. 413
a patch of thick and beautiful living forest. One circumstance which is conspicuous throughout the course of the river is that the vegetation on the left or eastern bank is everywhere richer than that on the opposite bank, this peculiarity being particularly noticeable during the second half of the day's march. The reason of this is no doubt the same as that which causes the eastern
side of the level floor of the desert bajirs, along the
foot of the steep dune-flank, to be bare and protected o-q a

sand accumulates; in the bajirs farthest north we observed
that not a single particle of sand has strayed on to these areas. In the valley of the Ettek-tarim, which resembles one long bajir, this circumstance is however less sharply accentuated than in the desert depressions. Its eastern sand-wave is not so high, and the breadth of the valley is greater; besides which the forest must have a certain effect upon the wind and the arrangement of the sand. Hence soil absolutely free from sand is a rarity in this trench.

As compared with the former Tarim, which emptied itself into Lop-nor, the Ettek-tarim is a relatively recent formation; indeed its existence would appear to have been quite brief, merely a passing episode in the history of the great river;
