WEATHER-CONJURING.   63

LXI., pp. 302, 31o.

" Thé weather-conjuring proclivities of the Tartars are

repeatedly mentioned in Chinese history. The High Carts

(early Ouigours) and Jou-jan (masters of the Early Turks) were

both given this way, the object being sometimes to destroy their

enemies. I drew attention to this in the Asiatic Quart. Rev.

for April, 1902 (` China and the Avars ')." (E. H. PARKER,

Asiatic Quart% Rev., Jan., 1904, p. 140.)

LXI., p. 305, n. Harlez's inscription is a miserable scribble of the

facsimile from Dr. Bushell. (PELLIOT.)

LXI., p. 308, n. 5. The Yuan SM, ch. 77, fd 7 v., says that :

" Every year, [the Emperor] resorts to Shang tu. On the 24th day of

the 8th moon, the sacrifice called ` libation of mare's milk ' is celebrated."

(PELLIOT.)
