SECTION V.—ACROSS THE ANCIENT DELTA OF THE KURUK-DARYA

On the morning of February 9th we set out north-eastwards from our camp at L.M. in order to gain the station of ` ancient Lou-lan L.A., which I proposed to make our base for the explorations immediately ahead. The route that was to take us there was a new one, and the ground to be traversed of distinct geographical and antiquarian interest. My first crossing of it in December, 1906, had furnished good reasons for the belief that this belt of wind-eroded desert, about 3o miles wide, belonged to an ancient delta of the Kuruk-daryâ.. While our former route lay almost due north from Camp 12I, a point east of L.K., the new one, which I chose with due regard to the relative position indicated by the plane-table for L.M. and L.A., led from the south-west to the north-east (Map No. 29. c, D. 4). It thus afforded a welcome opportunity to test, by the evidence of fresh and independent observations, the conclusions previously arrived at. When discussing in Serindia the peculiar topographical character of this ground and its geographical interpretation,1 I was able to avail myself of the main facts brought out by the fresh evidence obtained on my later journey. This, however, is the place to describe in detail the observations on which that evidence is based and which the map can but imperfectly record.
