462 THE ETSIN-GOL DELTA AND THE RUINS OF KHARA-KHOTO [Chap. XIII

Buddhist cult of the Tibetan type had reached the marches of Kan-su before the Hsi-hsia dominion was established.is But the total absence of Hsi-hsia texts among the written or printed remains from this source is certainly significant, and suggests that the deposit from which they were obtained is of considerably later date than the similar deposits found by us at Khara-khoto. In this connexion attention may be called to a notice recorded by Palladius, according to which ` Khubilai, disquieted by his factious relatives on the north, established a military post near Lake I-tsi-nay, and built a town, or a fort on the south-western shore of this lake. The name I-tsi-nay appears from that time.' 17 Is it possible that I.lasan Akhtin's site, which lies about ten miles to the south of the Sokho-nor shore (before its recent shrinkage), is in some way connected with the post established by the great Emperor of the Mongol dynasty ? A careful examination of the site and a search for other remains in that vicinity must be recommended to some future explorer.

the lines of the grain are evidently partially controlled. Glazed bright green, which appears dark over the brown paste, and accentuates the grain. For much finer specimen,
