bare of vegetation. Trunks of trees and kamisch stubble lie rocking on the water, and where they fail to come up to the surface they constitute a danger for the canoes. The poplars hereabouts are said to be in general about 4o years old.

After this we reached the important point where the Ilek receives, on its left or eastern bank, its tribute from the Arka-köl and the other lakes situated north of it. At its entrance into the river the mouth of the connecting canal is rather narrow, but a very little higher up it widens out, and is shut in by poplars. A little bit higher up still the river is joined by yet another though quite insignificant branch, it too hidden amongst the reeds. Thus I was at length in a position to complete my map of 1896, and at the same time to correct a serious error which had crept into it. I took it for granted that the Ilek of Kum-tscheke is derived wholly and solely from the chain of lakes consisting of the Avullu-köl, Kara-köl, Tajek-köl, and Arka-köl, and is the channel by which they discharge. But I have now ascertained, that the distribution of the water is much more complicated, and that the only discharge out of these lakes is through the two small channels I have mentioned. Where the Ilek really does come from we shall see soon.
The inhabitants of Kum-tscheke possess here a hut, Islamning-uji, on the left bank of the Ilek. Here too the river makes a pretty abrupt bend, penetrating in amongst the overgrown dunes on the left (eastern) bank. The river-bed is shallow, and
