VOLUMES OF THE TARIM, JURT-TSCHAPGHAN AND KUM-TSCHAPGHAN.   153

At the present moment there is no Abdal that is inhabited, for the district around the existing village has long been called Jurt-tschapghan. But even this situation appears to be in danger, for it is surrounded on every side by marshes and lakes.

Breadth = 30.o m. Tarim at Kum-tschapghan, April io. Scale 1 : 400.

Measuring the river at Jurt-tschapghan on 13th April, I obtained the following result — breadth, 42.4 m. ; mean depth, 3.365 m. ; mean velocity, 0.6023 m. in the second; and volume, 85.91 cub.m. in the second. I have already stated, that at Schirge-tschapghan on 19th April the river had a volume of 101 .86 cub. m. in the second, or 16 cub.m. more than at Jurt-tschapghan, although the measurement there was made six days later, at a time when as a rule the river is subsiding, and without taking into account the influx of the Tschertschen-darja, though it was then, I admit, insignificant, for its spring-flood does not get down to these lakes until the early summer. The difference of volume was unexpected, because the river gives off no canals above Jurt-tschapghan. It must therefore be accepted as a proof of the enervation which overtakes the Tarim before it reaches the Kara-koschun, an enervation which can only be ascribed to the extremely heavy evaporation that goes on, conjoined with the absorption of the water into the ground.

These data were obtained just above the point where the river divides, and where the water was flowing
