THE KUNTSCHEKISCH-TARIM AND ITS CONNECTIONS WITH THE KONTSCHE-DARJA. 50I

the lake had been dropping for a week (total fall, 14.8 cm.); but the lake, which acts as a distributor of the masses of water, was still full and even enlarged, being still at its maximum; for this reason the natives did not look for any appreciable diminution in the rivers draining out of it until another month had passed; but when that time came, the Laschin-darja would be very low. However, above the Jätimtarim the Kuntschekisch-tarim is only exceeded in magnitude by the united Tschong-tarim.

On the 2nd May the Kuntschekisch-tarim gave at Säkitma the following dimensions: breadth, 33.5 m.; mean depth, 2.452 m.; mean velocity, 0.4419 m.; and
