some dead, some living. To the north sand predominates. The bottom of the river consists chiefly of sand, rising in some places into small dunes, and there are a few mounds actually in the middle of the bed itself. On the right bank we came across traces of a village, namely two square huts, built of faggots and branches and kamisch, projecting about one meter above the sand-smothered soil. The name given to huts of this description is gerer. There was also surviving the lower part of a wooden |

live stock in the vicinity, these huts had been inhabited by shepherds, and could not very well be of any great age, any more than the Tschong-schipang bed could. For if the river were very old, it would have been already filled with sand-dunes. Immediately below this point the old
river-bed divides. The right arm, which returns directly to the river, is called the Kalta-schipang; the other, the principal branch, continues towards the east-north-east. In this we discovered the remains of a double dam, constructed of beams, piles, faggots, and clay, which seemed to have been made for the purpose of forcing the river to

The last portion of the old bed is indistinct, becoming lost amongst the sand and vegetation, but at Su-ösgen it once more reunites with
