CHAPTER LX.
M
•
CONCERNING THE KAAN'S PALACE OF CHAGANNOR.
•
AT the end of those three days you find a city called
CHAGAN NOR [which is as much as to say White Pool],
at which there is a great Palace of the Grand Kaan's ;1
and he likes much to reside there on account of the
Lakes and Rivers in the neighbourhood, which are the
*~ haunt of swans 2 and of a great variety of other birds.
t The adjoining plains too abound with cranes, partridges,
pheasants, and other game birds, so that the Emperor
takes all the more delight in staying there, in order to
go a-hawking with his gerfalcons and other falcons, a
,. sport of which he is very fond.'
,pt There are five different kinds of cranes found in
those tracts, as I shall tell you. First, there is one
which is very big, and all over as black as a crow ; the
second kind again is all white, and is the biggest of all ;
its wings are really beautiful, for they are adorned with
round eyes like those of a peacock, but of a resplendent
_,• golden colour, whilst the head is red and black on a
white ground. The third kind is the same as ours.
The fourth is a small kind, having at the ears beautiful
• •„; long pendent feathers of red and black. The fifth
kind is grey all over and of great size, with a handsome
•t
has bad several little houses erected in which he keeps
`.
`.• in mew a huge number of caters, which are what we
head, red and black.4
Near this city there is a valley in which the Emperor
•
`,A call the Great Partridge. You would be astonished
., ,.A• • to see what a quantity there are, with men to take
-* . '. charge of them. So whenever the Kaan visits the
~v: place he is furnished with as many as he wants.'
