Fig. 268. ENTRANCE TO THE BAZAAR OF TAVEK-KEI..
The annexed list gives the approximate populations of the towns:
POPULATION OF EAST TURKESTAN.
•
6o5
Jarkent I oo,000
Kaschgar 33,000
Ak-su 15,000
Kerija I 2,000
Karghalik 8000
Chotan* 5000
Kutschar 4000
Tschira 4000
Jangi-hissar 4000
Maral-baschi 4000
Korla 3000
Nija 2000
Tschertschen 2000
Utsch-turfan 2000
Ghuma 1400
Schah-jar I200
As this table shows, several of the large villages named above have a stronger claim to be included in the class of »towns» than Ghuma and Schah-jar; but in my classification I have followed the accepted usage, which does not accord the title of »town» to Kan-arik or Fajs-abad, or even to Merket, though it does possess 4000 inhabitants, while it does allow it to Schah-jar, notwithstanding this place numbers only 1200 inhabitants. According to the above list there are sixteen places in East Turkestan which are counted as towns, although the two terms which were current before Jakub Bek's time, namely Alti-schahr, or the Six Towns, and Jäti-schahr, or the Seven Towns, are still in general use. By the »seven towns» were no doubt originally meant Kaschgar, Ak-su, Korla, Jarkent, Karghalik, Chotan, and Kerija. The total population of the sixteen towns enumerated above amounts to 200,000 persons. Consequently the settled population who carry on agriculture and depend directly upon irrigation for their sustenance amounts in all to I,7oo,00o. This figure is probably not too high. For example, the district of Tasghun is reported to be pretty densely populated, and the country between Maral-baschi and Matan, which is practically unknown, is estimated to possess 2400 families, or at least 10,000 souls, who depend upon the irrigation canals from the Jarkent-darja and the Kaschgar-darja.
" In my calculation I have embraced Kara-kasch and Jurun-kasch amongst the villages.
