Here again we dug a well, the temperature of the ground being — I.5° at 25 cm., + 0.4° at 5o cm., + 1.6° at 75 cm., and + 2.1° at 86 cm., where we struck the ground-water. The sp. gr. was 0.0215, so that the water was absolutely undrinkable. On the north-west slopes of a couple of dunes, immediately under the crest, there still remained a narrow ribbon of snow, so that there must be some downfall there, as well as in the Kuruk-tagh, during the winter. The grazing at Atschik-kuduk is rather poor, and as both water and fuel are wanting, caravans avoid the place, preferring to encamp at a spot about to km. farther to the east, where the grazing is said to be a good deal better. The caravan I have mentioned had marched straight on without stopping at Atschik-kuduk. There were also signs of another caravan, which had passed apparently about a month before. The footprints were quite distinct in the moist, marshy schor, showing up white against its dark brown surface by reason of the thin efflorescences of salt with which they were lined.
